Full Description
Following earlier megnetometry survey, archaeological evaluation was carried out in 2018 by the Swale and Thames Archaeological Company in advance of proposed housing redevelopment. The evaluation found a late 2nd century field system and a structure with post holes and floors. This was subsequently replaced by a smaller enclosure in the late 3rd/4th century. The enclosure was c. 60 m north-south and at least 45m east-west.(1)
