Abstract: |
Between 11th and 14th August 2008, Oxford Archaeology (OA) carried out an archaeological field evaluation at Dane Court Grammar School, Broadstairs, Kent. The site revealed late prehistoric/early Roman activity. This took the form of a flint filled pit, a posthole and a number of field ditches. Pottery from the pit, the posthole and the ditches was of late Iron Age/early Roman date, probably spanning the crossover time of these two periods. The presence of a number of flints of Mesolithic and Neolithic date to the south-west part of the site suggest a prehistoric focus lies nearby. Overall, it seems likely that the features represent a small area of occupation with the ditches representing part of a late prehistoric/early Roman field system, with evidence of earlier occupation in the general area. |
