Abstract: |
A programme of fieldwork comprising geotechnical monitoring, evaluation and excavation conducted by Canterbury Archaeological Trust on land at Barton Court Grammar School, Longport, Canterbury, in response to a proposed new school extension (planning application CA/15/01891) conducted between 4 August and 7 October 2016 on behalf of Jenner Construction Ltd. The earliest deposit comprised a prehistoric or Roman soil overlying geological Head deposits, from which small assemblages of late Neolithic/Bronze Age flint tools and fragments of Roman pottery and tile, were recovered. Two collapsed ovens, of potential late Roman or Romano-Saxon date, and a boundary ditch of probable early Anglo-Saxon date truncated the earlier soil, but no associated structural features were evident. The main phase of activity was dated to the mid to late Anglo-Saxon period, and comprised a potential boundary ditch or sunken lane, and post-hole and stake-hole groups representing four potential structures. Occupation of the proposed development area potentially continued into the medieval period, represented by two intercutting pits. Later medieval or early post-medieval activity was represented by a peg-tile hearth or oven. |
