Abstract: |
An archaeological Watching Brief was carried out on a programme of ground reduction at Barty House Nursing Home, Bearsted. This involved landscaping of the rear of the building. Numerous features were identified comprising two phases of activity. The first phase of activity was dated to the 18th and 19th century, representing the subdivision of the land to the rear of the house, and the planting of trees or shrubs as part of a programme of decorative gardening. While the second phase of activity represents more functional use of the garden during the 20th century, associated with the presence of rubbish pits and the backfilled construction cut for a World War II air raid shelter. Natural flinty sandy clay was observed across the full area of the site. |
