Abstract:		 An archaeological evaluation was undertaken by Cotswold Archaeology in August 2014 at land at Oakland's Farm, Hothfield, Ashford, Kent. Twelve trenches were excavated. The trial trench evaluation has identified archaeological features within Trenches 5, 8, 9, 10 and 11. Within Trench 5, a drip gulley of a potential roundhouse was discovered. The drip gulley revealed pottery evidence for domestic activity which firmly dated the feature to the 1st century BC/1st century AD. A pit or posthole possibly associated with the roundhouse was located within the interior; a linear ditch located to the north-west; and a metalled track-way further north-west, flanked by a ditch either side. It is possible, due to the proximity of the east/west orientated ditch located north-west of the roundhouse, that this feature may form part of a settlement boundary to enclose the roundhouse. The north-east/south-west orientated metalled track-way may form part of an access route into the possible enclosure. Although these features remain undated it is possible that they formed part of a simple Late Iron Age/Early Roman enclosed farmstead. Isolated undated ditches were identified within Trenches, 8, 10 and 11. Initial assessment of their shallow form/fills, are assumed to be related to agricultural field boundaries and drainage. The ditch located within Trench 9 may form part of a historic field boundary which can be positively dated to the 19th century AD due to an un-frogged complete brick recovered from the ditch fill.
