| Abstract: |
An evaluation was undertaken as part of the wider investigations along the route of the Channel Tunnel Rail Link. Mesolithic flintwork was recovered from alluvial deposits in good condition, but had probably moved some distance from its original location. A buried soil horizon and archaeological features of later prehistoric date were recorded within colluvium and on a bedrock knoll overlooking the alluvial floodplain. Late Iron Age features were found on a low ridge overlooking the alluvial floodplain. A number of undated, though probably post-Roman, drainage ditches were found across the site. In general, environmental remains were scarce and poorly preserved, although one undated ditch contained better-preserved waterlogged plant remains. [Au(abr)] |
