"East and West of Stone Street, Westenhanger.",ARC SST 98,Evaluation,Canterbury Archaeological Trust; Wessex Archaeology,15/2/99 - 19/3/99,128250 372500,,Kent,Shepway,Stanford,,Field,PM,"Mechanical removal of topsoil and geotechnic trenches, hand excavation and recording of archaeological features",Late Post-Medieval cut archaeological features.   Prehistoric alluviated and fluvial archaic riverbed sequence,Alluvial and Fluvial sequence sampled by Wessex Archaeology,"The cultural material recovered from the trenches can all be attributed to the Post-Medieval and Modern activity.   The bulk comprises pottery sherds (2), Post-Medieval roof tile (3) and bone (1), all of which date to the nineteenth century.   A Modern brick fragment and metal hook were also retrieved.   No small finds were recorded.",Head Brickearth and Alluvium overlying Cretaceous Lower Greensand Folkestone and Sandgate Beds.,23,"Development.   Construction of, and works associated with, the Channel Tunnel Rail Link.",c. 1 - 3%,"A total of twelve trenches were excavated, archaeological features being identified in six of these.   The features were interpreted as a series of pits, ditches, and one larger unidentified linear feature, all thought to be relatively recent of a late Post Medieval date.   A conclusion was drawn that there was no significant cut archaeological features or remains present within the areas under evaluation.   However further investigations of the natural subsoil deposits has shown that, at least in one trench, a humic layer is present - possibly correlating to similar ground horizons associated with either the Mesolithic, Late Neolithic/Early Bronze Age, Late Bronze Age and Roman periods, but most likely the later two.   Fluvial gravel deposits of possible Mesolithic or Bronze Age date were also identified, and appear to form part of an archaic channel of the East Stour river or associated tributaries.",Canterbury Archaeological Trust; Wessex Archaeology,
