Denton Relief road Newr Gravesend, Kent

Oxford Archaeology (OA), between August 2002 and February 2003, carried out an archaeological monitoring and recording action and palaeo-environmental borehole survey on behalf of Gravesham Borough Council in advance of, and during, the construction of the new Denton Relief Road, Near Gravesend, Kent (NGR TQ 6650 7390). A total of four boreholes were drilled at the north-western extent of the development area and these have provided additional information regarding the depositional sequence of the stratified deposits underlying the site. Archaeological monitoring and recording was further maintained during the period of construction and, with the exception of a single recently infilled drainage ditch, no archaeological features/deposits or finds were recorded.
