Abstract:		 Wessex Archaeology was commissioned by CgMs Consulting to undertake an archaeological evaluation on land at Cheesemans Green, Ashford, Kent. The evaluation comprised a total of 150 trenches measuring 25m x 2m some of which were split in to two lengths, shortened or inaccessible due to some restrictions. The proposed development area occupies a low ridge aligned north-west / south-east bounded on the north-east by the East Stour and on the south-west by the Bilham and Ruckinge Dykes. The evaluation has identified the presence of archaeological remains, spanning several periods across the six areas with the exception of the central northern region of Area 2. Activity appears to be confined to the Prehistoric and the broad Iron Age /Romano-British transition period. Some possible early activity is attested to by the recovery of Mesolithic worked flint from a Palaeochannel identified in Trench 58 (Area 2) and features sampled in the western part of Area 6 (possibly Neolithic in date). Some features in Area 5 which have produced Romano-British artefacts in their upper fills could possibly be of earlier origin. Further archaeological investigation will prove the function of the features within all areas particularly the form and function of the enclosure systems in Areas 1, 2, 3 and 5. It will also prove or disprove the projected possible Mesolithic and Neolithic activity recorded in the palaeochannel in Area 2 and features Area 6 respectively. The evaluation has succeeded in mapping (and where appropriate, sample excavating) features that will require further investigation once the mitigation areas and excavation methodology have been agreed.
