Abstract: |
Archaeology South-East (ASE), the contracting division of University College London Centre for Applied Archaeology were commissioned by Turnbull, to undertake an archaeological evaluation in advance of construction of a new housing development at 20 22 Wrotham Road, Borough Green, Kent. The work took place from the 29th to the 31st October 2007. Six trenches were excavated across the area according to a pattern agreed with the County Archaeologist. Head Brickearth was encountered at a maximum height of 95.53m A.O.D in the west of the site, falling away to 90.83m A.O.D to the east. A total of 2 features were recorded during the investigation, including an undated linear and a pit of probable post medieval date. It seems certain that modern activity has seriously affected the archaeological potential of the site. The lack of evidence may also point to the fact that the archaeological focus of the area may be further south towards the nucleus of the village. |
