The Charter, Gravesend Car Parks, Gravesend, Kent - Post-excavation Assessment

Wessex Archaeology

Wessex Archaeology was commissioned to undertake archaeological mitigation works comprising an archaeological excavation covering two areas centred on NGR 564894 174311, located at the proposed Gravesend Eastern Quarter.

The excavations revealed structural remains associated with the 19th and 20th century activity within the site, with the majority of features recorded on either the 1840’s Tithe Map or the 1866 Ordnance Survey Map.

No evidence for earlier activity was recorded during the excavation, although this does not preclude earlier activity within the area as the recorded 19th and 20th century activity is likely to have had a significant impact on any earlier remains, with a large number of basements recorded.
