Abstract/Summary

Report presenting the results of geoarchaeological evaluation undertaken by Archaeology South East along the route of a proposed Southern Water sewer pipeline where it emerges from the Ebbsfleet Green Development at Ebbsfleet, Swanscombe, Kent. The pipeline route runs for c. 1.98km from the new development at Ebbsfleet Green to a point south of Station Road in the vicinity of the Millbrook Garden Centre The open cut parts of the pipeline comprise c.1,400m of the route. 37 geoarchaeological test pits, measuring 1.8 x 3 x up to 5m deep were excavated and a further 6 stepped Large Geoarchaeological Test Pits (LGTP) measuring up to 8 x 8 x 4m deep were also investigated. The test pit survey confirmed that almost the whole length of the route preserved Quaternary superficial deposits to some degree. This varied from shallow head deposits overlying the weathered Tertiary Solid Geology through to deep sequences of either ‘Brickearth’ Head, fluvial sands and Pleistocene and Holocene dry valley sequences in excess of 4m deep in places.
