Abstract:		 Detailed excavation of the site was undertaken as part of a programme of archaeological investigations carried out in advance of the construction of the Channel Tunnel Rail Link. The majority of the excavated features appeared to be of Norman date. These consisted of a series of large linear ditches forming a possible rectangular enclosure thought to have been indicative of land division. No obvious structures were identified, but the central area contained a large pit with a high concentration of charred plant/cereal remains, which was interpreted as a corn-drying oven. Other features of smaller linear features and pits were of indeterminable function, but remained contemporary in date. The retrieval of flint artefacts, including an Early Bronze Age arrowhead, suggested that there was survival of a prehistoric soil horizon in the southeast corner of the area excavated. [Au(abr)]
