Abstract: |
The evaluation revealed a number of undated, but probably Romano-British field drainage ditches close to Pested Bars Road which followed the alignment of the Roman road from Rochester to Lympne. Trenches targeted to assess the potential for Anglo-Saxon occupation in the vicinity of a pit found in earlier works revealed no further remains of that date. Instead, a substantial ditch, identifiable as exceeding 60 metres in length was found to be of Late Iron Age or Anglo-Saxon date, the pottery assemblage found within being of a type that made it difficult to fully ascertain the exact period.
