Introduction
As part of a programme of archaeological investigation along the route of the Channel Tunnel Rail Link, Union Railways Limited (URL) commissioned the Museum of London Archaeology Service (MoLAS) to undertake an evaluation of five trenches during the 2nd-5th September 1997. The fieldwork was undertaken adjacent to Knight.s Place Farm, Cobham Park in the parish of Cobham, Kent, URL grid 50375/49130. The aim of the evaluation was to examine a number of geophysical anomalies. No archaeological features were located, but a number of undated, infilled stream channels, possibly of Pleistocene date, were found. These geological features were recorded and plotted. The site lies on Eocene Thanet Beds.
This site is one of three adjacent evaluations at Knights Place Farm; the other two being Knights Place Construction Site (ARC KCS 98) and Knights Place Farm (ARC KPF 98).
N.B. Much of this work here has been superseeded by works associated with the Phase Two and Schemewide programmes, but are included here for completeness. Those wishing to use the most current data are urged to view the Channel Tunnel Rail Link Section 1 Project pages.
