Monument record TQ 57 SW 1098 - 1st Century AD Romano-British Enclosure Ditch and Pits, Temple Hill, Dartford
Summary
During the stripping and excavation of the site ahead of proposed development in 2016, the north east corner of a large Roman enclosure ditch and pits were revealed. The large enclosure ditch was dated to the Early Roman period, with a later ditch adjoining to the east added by c. 100AD. The purpose of these features is unclear. Roman pits to the north of the enclosure seemed to contain domestic rubbish, and some may have been open since the Late Iron Age.
