Abstract:		 An archaeological evaluation was undertaken by ASE on land at Nackington near Canterbury, Kent on behalf of CgMs. A total of 25 trenches (each 25m long x 2m wide) were excavated over 3 distinct areas to the west and east of Nackington village. A geophysical survey undertaken in advance of the evaluation was used to target the trenches. All three areas revealed archaeological features observed as geophysical anomalies but excavation increased the number of known features. Area 2 contained the highest density of archaeological remains. The evidence consisted in the most part of linear features across an area of high ground bounded to the east by a wide north-south ditch at the edge of the slope down to the natural valley bottom. These date from the Middle Iron Age to the Late Roman period. The majority of the linear features and one midden pit were dated to the transitional period from the end of the first century BC to the end of the first century AD. Large pot sherds and butchered animal bones pointed to the presence of habitation within the immediate vicinity of the linear features, although no structural remains were discovered. The northern extent of Area 2 was used as a burial ground in the third/fourth centuries AD. Three inhumations were uncovered, one contained three complete small pots that provided the dating evidence for these features. Although Areas 1 and 3 were largely devoid of finds, these showed limited evidence for Late Iron Age and Roman activity.
