Abstract: |
The evaluation was undertaken in advance of the construction of the Channel Tunnel Rail Link. A total of 10 trenches were excavated, archaeological features being identified in two of these. The features were interpreted as a series of pits, and a large ditch. The ditch was believed to have been the continuation of a ditch observed in the area previously excavated, and thought to represent the southern boundary to the site. The density of features encountered was low, and no direct evidence for metalworking was evident. Despite this the presence of the identified features tentatively suggested that the original limits of the medieval metalworking site continued eastwards into the study area. [Au(abr)] |
