Abstract: |
An archaeological watching brief was undertaken during new residential development at 39 Greenhill Road, Otford near Sevenoaks in Kent. The plot is situated on the lower reaches of the south facing scarp slope of the North Downs, directly opposite a known Early to Middle Bronze Age site in the back garden of number 46 Greenhill Road. During the course of the watching brief two possible quarry pits were recorded, although it is thought likely that both features related to localised variation in the topography and underlying geology, rather than reflecting direct cultural impacts. A buried landscape terrace of modern origin was also noted. Otherwise, all groundwork was monitored, and no significant archaeological deposits or conclusive evidence of pre-modern cultural activity was recorded. |
