Abstract:		 The study site lies on the land to the south of Monkton Rd, on the northern edges of the Minster Marshes, Kent (Site Centred: NGR TR 30594 64610). An archaeological Desk Based Assessment proved the site had moderate potential for recovering evidence from the later prehistoric and Roman periods (Darton 2006). The site is also 500m north-west of the Scheduled Ancient Monument of Minster Abbey. The site was evaluated between 24th September and 4th October 2007. Twenty two trial trenches were excavated to a cumulative length of 670m. The natural geological drift deposits (Head Brickearth) were encountered mostly at shallow depths across the development site. A total of eleven linear features were identified and sampled. Seven of the linear features (within Trenches 11, 12, 14 18 and 20) contained prehistoric materials including pottery sherds and flintwork dated from the Late Bronze Age to Late Iron Age. It is thought that the linear features across the southern and eastern part of the site once formed prehistoric field enclosures. The other four linear features (within Trenches 2 and 5) produced either no dating evidence or modern materials of likely Victorian date. Stratigraphy in Trench 4 and 5 proved that a large quarry pit once existed in this area of probable Victorian date. Other finds included two pit shaped features identified and sampled in Trench 19 which contained prehistoric struck flints. One sherd of medieval pottery was recovered from a tree bowl feature in Trench 15, but was likely to be residual. This feature also contained struck flints and was also thought to be prehistoric in origin. The potential for finding further archaeological remains (particularly from the prehistoric period) on this site is considered to be High.
