Abstract: |
A programme of archaeological evaluation, including a contingency for geo-archaeological evaluation, was carried out at Lullingstone Country Park, Eynsford, Kent. The work was undertaken between 16th - 18th March 2009 on behalf of Kent County Council. Six evaluation trenches sampled the surface archaeology and a geo-archaeological test pit investigated the geological sequence. The evaluation trenches revealed two significant features: a prehistoric, perhaps Mesolithic pit and a 3.1m wide probably prehistoric, perhaps Bronze Age droveway ditch. The suggested droveway ditch was an element of an extensive pattern of cropmarks. Potentially very significant flintwork (possibly Upper Palaeolithic) and faunal material was recovered from the upper facies of the Pleistocene Head. |
