Abstract: |
Archaeology South-East was commissioned by Wates Construction to undertake an archaeological Watching Brief at Canterbury Primary School, Franklyn Road, Canterbury. The archaeological work comprised monitoring the machine excavation of foundation trenches. No archaeological features or artefacts were found in the foundation trenches or western evaluation trench. Previous test pit and evaluation survey of the site also revealed no archaeological remains (ASE 2014). It appears that the site had been truncated in the past prior to the construction of the current school and playground as evidenced by the absence of material between the natural gravels and the made ground or topsoil. Truncation may have occurred as part of a levelling process for the playground construction. No evidence for flint knapping and no worked flints were discovered at the site. No evidence was found for Iron Age activity. |
