Abstract: |
An archaeological evaluation and watching brief of a site in the land to the north of the Presbytery Catholic Church of St Lawrence, Edenbridge, took place in March and April 2012. The evaluation was carried out as a condition of planning consent, prior to the construction of five residential houses, plus associated gardens, parking, and an access road (Application No. 04/03102/FUL; 11/00501/CONVAR). Three trenches were initially excavated on the site, covering an area of approximately 43 square metres. Two archaeologically significant features were uncovered within these - one shallow linear ditch with 12th Century pottery and slag in; and one larger deep semi-circular feature (with 12th Century pot). Based on these findings, a watching brief of the foundations for the houses was proposed and undertaken. This traced the line of the shallow linear feature north-south across the site, and involved the recovery of further medieval pottery and slag from it. No other archaeological features were observed. This archaeological work has therefore provided evidence for Saxo-Norman activity in this area, plus evidence for industrial activity, corroborating the evidence gleaned from other work in the Edenbridge area. |
