Abstract:		 Cheriton Road Sports Ground Trust, to undertake a programme of mitigation works, comprising archaeological strip, map and sample excavation, watching brief and building recording at Folkestone Cricket Club, Folkestone, Kent, centred at National Grid Reference 621406, 136773. The archaeological sequence indicates approximately five phases of activity. The earliest main phase of activity relates to a Late Bronze Age/Early Iron Age enclosure system which was either augmented or superseded by a subsequent Middle/Late Iron Age enclosure system, which underwent a series of re-cuts on the same alignment. The Late Bronze Age/Early Iron Age elements appear typical of a relatively low status enclosure system extending into the watching brief area to the east. The lack of internal features within this enclosure may be indicate it was largely used for livestock husbandry rather than associated directly with settlement. The presence of a single un-urned cremation identified immediately east of the main excavation area, may be indicative of settlement activity close by. The later parallel ditches in the far north-eastern part of the Site may indicate a change of usage. The Middle to Late Iron Age features in the southern part of the Site are indicative of an enclosure system, albeit one that has required periodic re-establishment through re-cutting of ditches on identical alignments. The historic building survey of a subterranean World War II air raid shelter uncovered during construction groundwork was also undertaken. The shelter was built in 1939 during the run up to the announcement of World War II. The structure was used as a public shelter throughout the war as indicated by graffiti in the shelter dated to August 1945. The shelter was formed of a series of interconnecting trenches following a symmetrical floor plan with a central entrance, originally accessed from the south. Ventilation shafts/access points were noted at the majority of the trench junctions.
