Abstract: |
An archaeological evaluation was carried out by Archaeology South East (ASE) on land east of All Saints' Church, Iwade, Kent (NGR: 590184 167937) between the 11th and 13th June 2012. The work was commissioned by Swale Borough Council to assess the archaeological potential of the site in advance of the proposed residential development. Six trial-trenches were excavated to a cumulative length of 120m. The trenches were positioned were practicable to provide a random sample of the area. Although the trenches showed little sign of disturbance to the natural horizon, only two shallow ditches of probable post-medieval date, were encountered in Trench 2 in the west of the site. The results of the archaeological evaluation suggest that the site was probably not occupied in the past and has perhaps only ever functioned as agricultural land or as a small orchard. Natural geology comprising light brownish yellow silty clay was encountered at 35.99m AOD in the southwest and 34.10m AOD in the northeast. |
