Abstract:
In November 2007 ASC Ltd was commissioned to undertake fieldwalking and detailed magnetometer survey over a 6.58 hectare parcel of arable land located immediately east of Margetts Pit, Burham, Kent. Seventy struck flints were recovered during the fieldwalking, two are tentatively dated to the Neolithic period and the remainder are probably Bronze Age/Iron Age. A small assemblage of other artefacts predating the late post medieval and modern eras was recovered but is not considered archaeologically significant. The geophysical survey has defined the location of two parallel curvilinear alignments of pits or ditch segments, which could define part of a Neolithic causewayed enclosure previously identified beyond the western limit of the survey area on an aerial photograph. The magnetometer data also defines the location of a rectilinear enclosure with ditches at the north and south that probably define a larger appended enclosure. Other magnetic anomalies to the west of the enclosure ditches may define further cut and infilled features although an archaeological origin for these anomalies is less certain
