Abstract:
In May 2000 and January 2001, English Heritage carried out an archaeological survey and investigation of the Queenborough Lines at Sheerness in Kent. The surviving earthworks of the Queenborough Lines lie between the edge of the Sittingbourne to Sheerness railway, the former Barton's Point Battery, now the Catamaran Sailing Club. When complete the earthworks were formed into five sections; the three main ones survive, each approximately 1km in length and adopting an overall alignment that is not quite a straight line. A smaller fourth section, which survives in part, formed the eastern end by curving around the southern side of Barton's Point Battery, while a short fifth section returned north-west to the Medway at the Queenborough terminus. The Queenborough Lines are made up of five earthwork features: a rampart, a broad wet ditch or moat' two catchwater ditches ( inner and outer) and a covered way (or military road). (This was report number 5/2001 in a previous series).
