Abstract: |
Although the site was artefactually relatively sterile with virtually no stratigraphic sequence due to the sparse and wide distribution of features, the work revealed both prehistoric activity and Anglo-Saxon settlement (one sunken-featured-structure was located and there was ceramic evidence for occupation of c. AD 700-850 and c. AD 850-1000) in this area of Canterbury. In addition, there were indications that Roman activity was more extensive than had been supposed from the industrial remains located in the 1950s. A residual assemblage of worked flints and pottery suggested prehistoric settlement from the Neolithic or Bronze Age onwards in the immediate area, perhaps situated on the slightly higher ground to the east and north. Evidence for at least two associated enclosures was also recorded. [Au] |
