Abstract: |
Prior to redevelopment as a housing estate an open area excavation was conducted at Axton Chase School, Longfield Kent which revealed a number of Roman features, namely pits, ditches and postholes, (some possibly forming a granary), indicative of peripheral activity associated with settlement. Some of the features contained relatively large quantities of burnt flint, probably associated with either cooking or industry. The features were sealed by a dark, probably Late-Roman soil which contained a large quantity of small finds, mainly coins. The dark soil was in turn sealed by a thick colluvial layer which contained finds from the Roman period onwards. |
