Abstract: |
A new water-main across dug across part of St Radigund's Abbey Farm, Hougham, near Dover (NGR 627608 141845 to 627707 141811), sectioned two sets of upstanding earthen banks and ditches, which form part of a more extensive complex of such earthworks surrounding the medieval abbey site. Each set of banks and ditches was carefully examined and recorded. The banks were found to be of simple dump construction with no evidence that any ever had an associated palisade or masonry wall. A previously infilled ditch was discovered on the north-western side of the North Bank. No datable finds were associated with any of the banks or ditches investigated. Three prehistoric struck flints recovered from topsoil between the earthworks provide further evidence for prehistoric activity hereabouts, as previously established by earlier fieldwork in the region. |
