Oxford Archaeology carried out a field evaluation at James Whatman Way, Maidstone, Kent, on behalf of Kent County Council between 23rd and 27th January 2002. The evaluation revealed building and structural remains forming part of the 18th Century cavalry barracks, and for the later use of the site by the MOD. no earlier remains were identified. The site has been extensively built up and levelled following the demolition of the barracks buildings and is currently covered by several metres of made ground. Post-medieval ground deposits survive under the overburden in the eastern part of the site.
