Monument record TR 25 NE 311 - A faint cropmark, possibly the remains of a building foundation of unknown date

The faint cropmark remains of two sides of a possible rectilinear enclosure (possibly the foundations of a building) of unknown date were seen centred at TR 2996 5831 on aerial photographs. This site was mapped at 1:2500 scalel from aerial photographs as part of the English Heritage: Richborough Environs Project. It lies just outside the project area, but due to its proximity to the course of the Roman road and a Roman settlement at Each End, the site was included in the survey. It is possible this site could be the remains of a building associated with the surrounding Roman features. (1)


Historic england archive material: AF00055 Richborough Environs Project A 1:2500 scale air photographic survey of Richborough Roman fort and its environs was carried out as part of a Multi-disciplinary research project initiated by English Heritage Centre for Archaeology. The aim of the project was to establish the extent, morphology and complexity of the settlement in the area under active ploughing between the Saxon Shore fort and the amphitheatre. The combined results of the aerial survey, the geophysical surveys and small scale excavations undertaken by the CfA will be used to improve the interpretation, management and presentation of the site.
