Full Description

Several linear features were observed during a watching brief on groundworks associated with services for a new development on Cottington Road on land adjacent to Oakland Court, Cliffsend in Kent. The limited amount of material recovered from the features makes accurate dating difficult, but put into the wider context of the site it is likely that the linear features were a continuation of the landscape of field systems and enclosures seen nearby which have been dated to the later prehistoric period (likely Bronze Age).
