Monument record TQ 67 SW 1514 - Late iron age to early/middle Roman activity west of Northfleet Roman villa, Northfleet - Early Roman pits

Summary

Excavations associated with the Channel Tunnel Rail lin from 1997 to 2001 discovered extensive evidence of a Roman villa complex at Northfleet (see TQ 67 SW 38). Excavations found limited evidence of iron age activity to the north-west of Northfleet Roman villa. This consisted of a single gully orientated north-west to south-east and three pits accompanied by a small number of late iron age or early Roman pot sherds (source 1 p135).
