The presence of an Early Medieval freshwater channel was suggested during archaeological and geoarchaeological investigations on land off Ashford Road New Romney. It is possible that the feature relates to the Rumensea Wall which is suggested to have run parallel to Ashford Road on its north-eastern side. This wall was constructed for the purpose of marshland reclamation in the early medieval period and attests to artificial landscape alteration taking place in the immediate area during this period. The Feature continued in use into the Medieval period. (location accurate to the nearest 1m based on available information)
