Abstract: |
Rescue excavations in advance of the construction of the Folkestone to London main railway line, which was to run through part of the Scheduled area. Extant earthworks showed the medieval moat and formal gardens including raised terraced walks and water features. Other work nearby suggested the presence of a Belgic farmstead, Roman farmstead and Iron Age enclosure. All surface features were unfortunately levelled before the investigation. A few residual worked flints recovered suggest Neolithic or Bronze Age activity nearby. A series of linear cuts may relate to a zone of Late Iron Age/Belgic settlement similar to that recorded nearby and combined form an extensive area. No securely datable medieval features were recovered probably due to the previous levelling. Another linear feature may represent a 17th century man-made feeder stream to the moat. [Au(abr)] |
