Abstract: |
The development site was 250m north of the alignment of Watling Street (the main London to Canterbury Roman road). The site was evaluated between the 9th and 13th October 2006. Twenty-four trial trenches were excavated to a cumulative length of 480m. The natural geological drift deposits (Head brickearth) were encountered mostly at shallow depths across the development site. A total of six features were identified and sampled. Two of the features contained modern material. The other four features produced no dating evidence. A possible Palaeolithic flint tool (but possibly of a later prehistoric date) was recovered from the subsoil in Trench 7. As a result, a 2m² test pit was excavated at the western end of this trench. The total depth of the Head deposit was ascertained at 1m. No more worked flint pieces were seen in this test pit. The potential for finding further archaeological remains on this site was considered to be low. [Au(abr)] |
