Monument record TR 15 NW 2559 - Late Bronze Age Water Hole, Turing College in Canterbury
Summary
In 2014, Canterbury Archaeological Trust machine stripped, GIS mapped and archaeologically excavated a proposed development site at Turing College. 61 trenches were cut, and investigations revealed a late Bronze Age water hole, potentially of regional or national significance, and possibly contemporary with a group of late bronze age enclosure, pits, and cremation burials also found to the north-east of the same site. This activity was followed by the establishment of and Iron Age settlement on the site, though continuity between these two broad phases is unclear.
