Findspot record TQ 57 SW 169 - Medieval and post-medieval occupation

Summary

Excavation produced evidence of the ground being used for the town fair during the nineteenth century and of occupation by Medieval peoples, but no further material of archaeological interest was uncovered when the site was under surveillance during construction/excavation work by the contractors. The geological evidence of a marshy field cut by earlier streams was valuable information for future excavations on the Dartford river plain.
