Abstract: |
An archaeological watching brief was carried out by Archaeology South-East at the Old Cattle Market, Elwick Place, Ashford, Kent during 2nd May - 9th June 2017. The watching brief uncovered evidence scant evidence of walls and post-holes likely related to the old cattle market. These features were generally dated to the 19th and 20th centuries based on brick samples. There was clearly a great deal of truncation on site. The lack of any intact subsoil horizon suggests the natural geology had also been truncated, and in places it was somewhat contaminated. The development of the High Speed 1 rail link in the 1990s was likely responsible for a lot of the truncation, therefore a lot of the made ground deposits were likely upcasts from these works. |
