Abstract: |
An archaeological watching brief involving the supervised mechanical ground reduction across the new build footprint was carried out by PRO Archaeology Services in advance of the construction of a new detached house and ancillary garage (Planning reference: TM/07/02163) on land adjacent to Tudor Barn, Long Mill Lane, St Mary's Platt, Sevenoaks, Kent (NGR: TQ 62220 56510). The results followed an evaluation conducted by PRO Archaeology Services (PAS 2010), which revealed a stratigraphic sequence of natural geology overlaid by buried topsoil and made ground deposits. The earliest archaeological features were seen cut into the natural brickearth and consisted of four shallow ditches and postholes all dated to the Post medieval period. The following excavations revealed more detail of the discovered features which are considered to represent the below surface remains of a structure, survived as gullies and postholes. The structure was probably associated with the known pottery Kiln located approximately 10m to the north of the site, excavated during the 1960's, and may have acted as a drying shed or for other storage purposes. |
