Monument record TQ 67 SW 1784 - Possible later bronze age/iron age settlement evidence, Ebbsfleet Green.
Summary
Excavations at Ebbsfleet Green over several years, but particularly during Phase 6 of the Ebbsfleet Green construction project, have located numerous later prehistoric features including gullies, pits, ditches and stakeholes. These are interpreted as being of probably later bronze age/iron age date and may indicate a settlement at or near the site.
