Canterbury Archaeological Trust has been assisting developers, architects, businesses and individuals with their heritage and archaeological requirements for more than 40 years. With offices in Canterbury and Dover, we have a wealth of knowledge and expertise covering the south-east of England and beyond. Whatever the nature of the heritage service required, we are able to provide help and guidance, from project inception to conclusion. And if the work forms part of the planning process, we can guide you through that, too.
Our Archaeological & Heritage Services
We offer a full range of archaeological and heritage services, including:




The Trust undertakes desk-based research for a wide range of customers at the pre-planning stage and in response to planning conditions. Our services include the provision of heritage statements, full desk-based archaeological assessments and cultural heritage contributions to environmental impact assessments. We also conduct historic landscape surveys and act as heritage consultants to various development and community led projects.
After 40 years of operations, Canterbury Archaeological Trust is firmly established as one of the UK’s premier professional archaeological contractors. During that time, we have built an enviable reputation, winning numerous awards and being involved in some of the most important excavations in British archaeology. Our field staff rank among the most experienced and qualified in the profession – ensuring that we can offer a range of services that is second to none. These include: archaeological evaluation, strip-and-map and full excavation; watching brief and groundwork monitoring; surveying; and bore-hole/pile and geo-technical test-pit monitoring.
Most historic buildings are the product of a series of additions and subtractions. This process provides archaeologists with physical evidence of changes in technology, fashion and social relations. Change must continue if historic buildings are to have a future; equally, listed buildings form a precious and limited resource, and it is right that proposals for change should be considered in a careful and informed way. It is particularly desirable to safeguard those aspects of a building which make it special.
Canterbury Archaeological Trust can offer a comprehensive range of specialist services through our in-house team of experts. Many of these specialisms are mentioned elsewhere and include building recording, desk-based assessments, and planning and development consultation.
