Abstract: |
An archaeological evaluation of 4 trenches was undertaken by Archaeology South-East at land off 24-32 Cudworth Road, Ashford, Kent, on 7th and 8th April 2009, and was commissioned by Lakehurst Developments Ltd. The underlying natural of clay was encountered between the heights of 37.30m OD in the north of the site (trench 1) and 36.90m OD in the south (trench 4). The topography was of wasteland gently sloping from north to south. The evaluation identified two phases of archaeological features, Mesolithic and Middle/Late Iron Age. The Mesolithic was represented by a single, probably residual, flintwork flake. Five ditches, all probably contemporary and of Middle/Late Iron Age date, were identified. These features are likely to have been field boundary ditches and are typical of the archaeology of the surrounding environs. The archaeological features were identified in the north of the site in trenches 1, 2 and 3. No archaeology was identified in trench located in the proposed route of the access road. |
