Abstract: |
An evaluation was undertaken on land at the corner of Lambs Lane North and New Road, Rainham, before the construction of 28 residential units (Planning Ref: PO745.12). It uncovered broadly the same sequence of deposits across the site - loose dark-brown garden topsoil, over more compacted grey-brown silty subsoil, over natural silty-gravelly-clay (observed between 0.3 and 0.5m beneath the modern ground-surface; 7.15-7.5mOD). Modern intrusions were observed in a few places across the site, however the site was largely undisturbed. Two linear ditch features were observed, which are believed to be field / plot boundaries of some description - probably medieval in date. In general, therefore, this evaluation produced negative results, with no sign of prehistoric or Roman activity, although two probable medieval field boundaries were recorded. |
