Monument record TQ 67 SW 1634 - Tank and associated drain within property 4 of the Roman road side settlement, Springhead
Summary
Excavations in advance of the Channel Tunnel Rail Link in 2002-3 identified a number of Romano-British property boundaries west of the Ebbsfleet. Within property 4 was a tank (possibly associated with a well located immediately to the south of it) which appears to have been in use for a long time spanning all phases of development at the site. A narrow U shaped ditch located between the tank and the river may have provided drainage. (location accurate to the nearest 1m based on available information)
