‘An archaeological evaluation for a proposed new office building on land adjacent to Brickfields Business Park, Gillingham, Dorset (ST80792556), was carried out by AC archaeology Ltd during August 2011. The evaluation revealed no evidence for significant archaeological activity across the proposed development site. The only subsoil features comprised part of a possible former drainage ditch or gully and of post-medieval date. A series of land drains, including one stone-filled and all of post-medieval date were also present in several trenches. A small quantity of 19th-20th century pottery was recovered from the evaluation.’
