Abstract: |
This survey assessed the nature of the stratigraphic sequences present beneath the proposed route corridor for the proposed road improvement, forming a link to the proposed Dymchurch-New Romney Bypass. Data from 43 boreholes and 42 test pits was assessed but no fieldwork undertaken. The route was divided into 3 zones; Romney Marsh, the palaeocliff line and the upland zone. Areas of high archaeological potential recovered included probable well stratified sequences (possibly waterlogged) spanning minimally, the last 2000 years, a major late Roman fort, and deposits spanning the Holocene, and were mainly present in the Romney Marsh zone.
