Introduction
Wessex Archaeology was commissioned by Union Railways (South) Ltd (URS) to undertake a Strip, Map and Sample excavation at Little Stock Farm, adjacent to the Ashford to Folkestone railway, near the village of Mersham, Kent. The site is centred on URL grid point 86400 18625 (NGR grid point TR 06530 38535), and extended over an area of c. 1.2 hectares. The site is known as Little Stock Farm, under the URS site code ARC LSF 99.
The excavation formed part of a programme of archaeological investigation along the proposed route of the Channel Tunnel Rail Link (CTRL), and has been preceded by an Environmental Assessment, fieldwalking survey, geophysical survey and evaluation.
An Archaeological Evaluation (ARC LSF 98) and Geophysical Survey (ARC LFM 95) were also undertaken at Little Stock Farm as part of CTRL phase 1.
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.
