Springhead (Temple East of), ARC STP 97

Wessex Archaeology was commissioned by Union Railways Limited to carry out an archaeological evaluation on a site to the south-west of Gravesend (centred on URL grid point 42250 51900; NGR grid point TQ 62300 71900), known as Temple East of Springhead. The potential for archaeological remains within the evaluation area had been identified by an earlier Environmental Statement (URL 1994) and geophysical survey (GSB 1996). This potential was defined as the possibility of discovering features and remains associated with the scheduled Romano-British temple immediately to the north-west, and of discovering archaeological features that correspond to geophysical anomalies.

联合铁路有限公司（Union Railways Limited）委托韦塞克斯考古（Wessex Archaeology）对格雷夫森德西南侧、以通用地形网格点（URL grid point）42250 51900及国家网格参考点（National Grid Reference，简称NGR）TQ 62300 71900为中心的“斯普林海德东神庙（Temple East of Springhead）”场地开展考古评估。此前发布的环境声明（URL 1994）与地球物理勘探（GSB 1996）已识别出该评估区域内存在考古遗存的潜力。该潜力被界定为两种情形：一是发现紧邻该场地西北侧、已列入保护名录的罗马-不列颠时期神庙相关的遗迹与遗存；二是发现与地球物理异常特征相对应的考古遗迹。
