Abstract:		 A Field reconnaissance survey was undertaken along the entire course of the proposed pipeline, as well as unstructured fieldwalking. An evaluation, comprising four trenches, was undertaken near Saltwood to the north of Hythe and a further evaluation of two trenches were dug perpendicular to the course of Green Lane, from the foot of the canal bank to the top scarp of the ditch running along the north west side of the The Royal Military Canal. Field reconnaissance survey identified four nationally important sites, including three pillboxes and The Royal Military Canal (a Scheduled Ancient Monument); no regionally important sites; and sixty-six sites of local importance. Single sherds of Iron Age and medieval pottery were spotted opportunistically. The first evaluation, comprising four trenches, produced a single late Bronze Age/early Iron Age pit containing a ‘special deposit’ and a layer of overlying colluvium, which is thought to have accumulated during the medieval and/or post-medieval periods. The ‘special deposit’, which might have had funerary associations, included a number of rare and possibly regionally-unique vessel fragments, some having possible continental affinities and one possibly being evidence of local salt production. The second evaluation at The Royal Military Canal identified well-preserved gravel remains of what appeared to be the military road in trench 2 and an unexpected silty clay deposit of probable archaeological significance in trench 1. The substantial gravel road appeared to be constructed in a single event with no evidence of repair or resurfacing. The silty clay deposit had the appearance of a ditch or pond fill or possibly dredgings from the canal but none of these interpretations sit comfortably with the location of the deposit in relation to the projected course of the former military road
