Abstract:		 Archaeological evaluation was conducted on land off Haine Road, Thanet, Kent, between September and November 2017 in preparation of a proposed planning application for a large scale residential development referred to as Westwood Village. The evaluation comprised machine excavation of 90 trenches representing a 3% sample of the total proposed development area which covers an area of 38ha. Archaeological features were recorded in 64 of 90 trenches. This comprised 269 archaeological features investigated in 235 hand-excavated interventions. Features comprised 157 ditches/linear features, 42 pits, 19 post-holes, 9 sunken featured buildings, 9 trackways, 23 quarry pits, 9 other undifferentiated features and 1 agricultural feature. The identified archaeological features corresponded well with previously known heritage assets and geophysical anomalies, with the focus of activity concentrated on a west-facing slope overlooking a dry valley. Six chronological periods were represented spanning the later prehistoric, late Iron Age to early Roman, later Roman, medieval and post-medieval periods. Finds included pottery, ceramic building material, worked flint, burnt flint, and metalworking residues. Recovered registered finds included some 153 diagnostic finds, including 1 late Iron Age, 11 Roman and 1 medieval coin, along with other metal and non-metal finds. Preservation of environmental data was influenced by calcareous soil conditions with good potential to obtain data on diet and economy. Charred plant remains were common, animal bone was in moderate to poor condition, and evidence for marine fish and shellfish was recovered. The evaluation confirmed and supplements desk based and geophysical survey work.
