EAST OF HOCKERS LANE,ARC EHL99,EVALUATION,OAU,29/3/1999-1/4/1999,58240 15520,CTRL 420,KENT,MAIDSTONE,Detling,,Linear features;postholes;pits,LIA;ERO,"Seven trenches excavated, hand cleaned and recorded",No phasing completed as yet,No deposits containing material suitable for palaeo-environmental reconstruction were identified.,"A total of 82 sherds (282 g) was recovered from the evaluation, with a single vessel represented by rim count. Six contexts produced pottery which can be dated to the late Iron Age/ early Roman period. The pottery was recorded by context and broad fabric trends for the purpose of assigning dates. The pottery was quantified by sherd count and weight by context. The assemblage was recorded following the standards established by the OAU pottery recording system for prehistoric and Roman pottery. The pottery was in a poor to average condition with an average sherd weight of less than 5 g.",".  The solid geology consists of gault clay with gravel. Prior to the evaluation, the site was in use as pasture",68,Channel Tunnel Rail Link construction and associated working area will result in extensive ground disturbance.,0.01,"Seven evaluation trenches were excavated in an area of c. 3.8 hectares.  Three trenches located in the central area of the site revealed a cluster of ditches, gullies, pits and postholes, sealed beneath a buried ploughsoil.  A small assemblage of late Iron Age/ early Roman pottery was recovered from the ditches and one of the gullies, along with animal bone and fragments of burnt stone.  These features also produced several sherds of redeposited late Bronze Age or earlier Iron Age pottery.  No dating evidence was recovered from any of the pits and postholes found in this area.  Some of them may be associated with the late Iron Age/ Romano-British activity, though it is uncertain whether all of the features are contemporary.",,
