Mulit-period occupation identified, dating from the Bronze Age, Iron Age, Roman, Medieval and later periods. Early/Mid Iron Age settlement remains and traces of a structure of Roman or Medieval date were located during the pre-construction evaluation phase of the wastewater treatment works site. The development proposals were modified to ensure the continued preservation of these deposits. The most important find from the site is a small Late Bronze Age hoard, dated 9/8C BC. The hoard consists of 5 CU alloy objects; a fragment of sword; a socketed hammer; a small cylindrical band; a bun ingot and a flat ingot fragment. The 3rd hoard to be found at Ebbsfleet. (1)
