Abstract: |
An archaeological watching brief was undertaken during works to install a pumping station and attendant pipe run on land at Fairways, Ospinge Street, Ospringe, Kent. The work comprised the archaeological monitoring of an open cut trench to accommodate the new services, as well as excavation of two pits for the new pumping station. Monitoring took place from the 11th to the 23rd of October 2007. This investigation succeeded in identifying archaeological features comprising significant masonry remains associated with the medieval hospital of St Mary's Ospringe. These included the remnant of the masonry found by S.E Rigold in 1957, a similar east- west wall, a medieval culvert, the location of a hearth, a floor level and a stretch of wall probably relating to the hospital's Common Hall. The underlying geology encountered during the course of the groundworks comprised deposits of Thanet Beds. |
