Abstract The abstract describing the content of the publication or report Abstract:	An archaeological watching brief was conducted at Shepherd's Farm Quarry, Lenham Heath, Kent NGR 591780 150432, between the 15th-17th May and 9th October-3rd November 2017. Evidence of a Middle/ Late Iron Age phase of activity, represented by a ditch system was identified cut into the natural geology. An SFB and curvilinear representing Early Medieval/ Anglo Saxon activity were found to be truncating some of the Iron Age ditches. Medieval activity was represented by a lengthy ditch and several pits cut through a head deposit overlying the natural. Pottery recovered from these features was dated to 1150-1350, representing a relatively short period of activity.

Note Extra information on the publication or report. Note:	The report is written and structured so as to conform to the standards required of post-excavation analysis work as set out in the National Planning Policy Framework (HM Gov 2012) and older documents Management of Research Projects in the Historic Environment (MoRPHE), Project Planning Notes 3 (PPN3): Archaeological Excavation (English Heritage 2008). Interim analysis of the stratigraphic, finds and environmental material has indicated a provisional chronology, and assessed the potential of the site archive to address the original research agenda, as well as assessing the significance of those findings. This has highlighted what further analysis work is required in order to enable suitable dissemination of the findings in a final publication.
