Abstract:		 An archaeological evaluation was commissioned by Bovis Homes Ltd in advance of construction work on land parcels: 4, 12, 13, and POS 5 of the large-scale Thistle Hill development, Isle of Sheppey, Kent (Planning Reference: SW/04/1059). The site was evaluated in May 2007 with 65 trial trenches excavated to a cumulative length of approximately 2157 metres. Archaeological features were recorded in five of these trenches (31, 32, 39, 41 and 45). These were all located within land parcel 4 and revealed pits of probable mid to late bronze age, late Iron Age/early Romano-British and medieval date. In addition linear features dating largely to the medieval period were also encountered. The watching brief took place between the 21st May and 23rd May 2007 during construction works to build an L shaped site compound. An additional three late Iron Age to early Romano British pits were encountered during this monitoring. The ensuing archaeological excavation was therefore divided between two targeted areas within land parcel 4 and an additional watching brief was placed upon the developments infrastructure. During the excavation phase, Late Iron Age to Early Roman pits were revealed, as well as a 12th to 13th century farmstead, further medieval features of a similar date were encountered during the watching brief. The site contributes to a growing understanding of the Late Iron Age and 12th to 13th century landscape of the Isle of Sheppey as well as expanding our knowledge of rural farmsteads in the medieval period.
