Abstract The abstract describing the content of the publication or report |
Excavation in advance of development, undertaken at Hawthorn Road, Sittingbourne in 2002-03 by Compass Archaeology, revealed a gently curving arc of ditch which, if projected, may have formed part of a circular earthwork or ring ditch measuring just over 30m in diameter. The archaeological background to the area is outlined and the excavation results are described in detail. An analysis of the struck flint assemblage is then presented; this contained elements of Mesolithic and possibly Neolithic or Bronze Age type. Given the short stretch of ditch exposed, it is difficult to ascertain precisely what type of monument is represented; the most economic explanation perhaps is that the ditch encircled a round barrow or, less likely, a small henge-type monument. The flints recovered provide no clear indication as to the date of the feature, but do raise the possibility that the location retained some significance over a considerable period of time.
