Monument record TR 15 NW 2560 - Iron Age Settlement, 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 an Iron Age settlement on the site, potentially of regional or national significance. The establishment of this settlement followed a period of a late Bronze Age activity (marked by a water hole, an enclosure, cremation burials and a series of pits) though continuity between these two broad phases is unclear.
