Abstract: |
An archaeological evaluation consisting of nine trenches was carried out by PCA. The archaeological evaluation found natural sand (Thanet Sand Formation) at a maximum level of 93.98m OD in Trench 9 located in the southern part of the site, sloping downwards to the north mirroring the topography of the site. In Trench 5, 3 and 2 natural sand were recorded at 91.56m OD, 88.68m OD and at 83.63m OD respectively. In Trench 2 natural clayey gravel was recorded at 84.25m OD. Evidence of well constructed external cobbled surfaces dating to the post-medieval period were recorded in Trenches 4 and 5 in the central part of the site and in Trench 7 to the south. In Trench 3 evidence of an external surfaces consisting of re-deposited gravel chalk and cobbles dating to the late post-medieval period was also observed. Finally evidence of undated ditches was recorded in Trenches 1 and 9. The function of these ditches was probably as boundaries and/or drainage of fields. |
