Monument record TQ 67 SW 1589 - Beam slot representing site of Early Roman building, Springhead, Northfleet
Summary
Excavation in 2000-2002 revealed a group of features that probably belonged to the same complex which is likely to have originated in the 1st century and continued in use into the mid-Roman period. The focus of these features is suggested to have been a timber structure, represented by a narrow slot approximately 14 m long, 0.5 m wide and up to 0.3 m deep, with a short return at the north end. (location accurate to the nearest 1m based on available information)
