Abstract:		 The evaluation located a sub-circular medieval ditched enclosure situated on a north-west facing slope. A small pottery assemblage indicated an early medieval date very probably in the 11th to early 12th century. A sequence of medieval features was recorded which included ditches, recuts and pits. The majority of the pottery was recovered from the two later features cut into the top of the enclosure ditch. The artefactual evidence, along with well preserved environmental remains and a deposit of stone rubble, indicated domestic occupation of the site. A small number of pits were located 70 metres north of the ditched enclosure and appeared to be contemporary it, although they produced few finds. A single undated ditch was situated on the line of the parish boundary between Detling and Boxley. Residual finds included a small amount of struck and burnt flint and two fragments of Roman roof tile. [Au(abr)]
