Abstract:
Over 400 evaluation trenches were excavated on a disused aerodrome outlined for redevelopment for housing and community and retail facilities. This also included the proposed route of the Hawkinge bypass. Flintwork from the area as a whole suggests activity from the Neolithic period onwards. Two major periods of use; the Iron Age and Roman, were represented by several features of mainly ditches and occupation/pottery rich layers. Evidence for an enclosure and features also suggests a straggling Romano-British settlement on the site. A C2nd-C3rd cremation burial was also located. The southern area of the site contained a spread of early Iron Age, Romano-British and medieval occupation features. The geology of the site was quite complex and ground disturbance had been caused by heavy bombing during World War II. Features associated with the airfield were also noted. [AIP]
