Full Description
An evaluation at 3-5 Queen Street, Gravesend by SWAT Archaeology in June 2011, on land designated for a small block of flats. Two trenches were excavated. 3 post holes were observed in trench 2, cut into the natural geology, and possibly contemporary due to the similar nature of the fills. Only one was excavated and found to be 0.40m in diameter and up to 0.12m deep with a pointed base. It is possible these are from scaffolding posts associated with the building of a nearby structure, the footings of which were found in the same trench. Sealing the post holes was a late 19th/early 20th century deposit. (1)
