Abstract:		 The evaluation revealed that a significant multi-period site existed within the study area. Features encountered included a hitherto unknown Early Bronze Age barrow cemetery. A broadly contemporaneous field system also appeared to develop around these monuments throughout the Later Bronze and Early Iron Age. The barrows clearly continued to fulfill a focal role throughout the prehistoric period, with a network of hollow-ways developing into the Late Iron Age that have a definite spatial relationship with the barrows. The hollow-way network appeared to survive throughout the Romano-British period, although excavated evidence indicated relatively little Late Roman activity within the vicinity of the site. Four distinct Saxon cemeteries were also located along about a 500 metres length of the Channel Tunnel Rail Link, predominantly focussed on the earlier barrows. Where diagnostic artefacts were recovered, the burials all appeared to be relatively early (6th to 8th century AD).[Au(br)]
