Abstract: |
Eleven evaluation trenches revealed evidence from nine phases of occupation. Prehistoric occupation remains of probable early to mid Iron Age but possibly Bronze Age date were the first evidence of prehistoric occupation on Sheppey. These represent a possible Bronze Age/Iron Age transitional lightly defended farmstead or hamlet. Late Iron Age-Late Roman and possibly early Saxon occupation is suggested by ceramics, and a ditch and area of metalling. Mid-late Saxon metalling on the site may relate to the building of the original Abbey. The early medieval, medieval and early post medieval periods are represented by two post holes and three phases of colluviation. Truncation of the eastern end of the site occurred in the 19th century. [AIP] |
