An archaeological evaluation (16 trial-trenches) was carried out in 2017 at Rowhedge Wharf, Rowhedge, in advance of the redevelopment of the site into residential dwellings (CBC application 160551). All of the trenches measured 30m long by 1.9-2m wide except T6 (20m), T12 (25m) and T14 (25m). The evaluation revealed no significant archaeological remains. In c.1979, the site was subject to significant ground reduction before being covered by a concrete slab and warehouses, which were removed prior to evaluation. These groundworks had caused significant modern disturbance over most the site.<1>
