Abstract: |
Archaeology South-East (ASE) was commissioned by Sally Dicks of CgMs Consulting on behalf of Abbey Developments Limited to undertake an archaeological evaluation in advance of the proposed residential development at land off Peninsula Way, Chattenden, Kent. Forty-five trenches were excavated across the site to reveal the underlying natural, firm yellowish grey-mottled silt clay, mixed with natural gravels at a maximum elevation of 40.65m AOD. This investigation has succeeded in identifying archaeological features in 14 of the 45 excavated trenches with a further 14 trenches identified as potentially containing prehistoric features. The evaluation revealed a moderate assemblage of struck flint; it produced very few diagnostic pieces, but it clearly relates to a blade-orientated industry likely dated to the Mesolithic. Securely dated post-medieval activity was limited to three ditches; two of these features laying in close proximity may be contemporary. The features' characters were hard to ascertain and do not appear to form part of a larger field system. |
