Transect of nine test pits dug to establish the nature, Palaeolithic significance and potential of deposits on site. The anticipated deposits were not identified, but a small outcrop of older gravel terrace was found at the southern end of the transect, one metre below ground. One test pit revealed evidence of localised chalk quarrying. One test pit, adjacent to the Ebbsfleet channel revealed a linear feature, under two metres of coluvium, containing Late Neolithic/Early Bronze Age struck flint.
