Monument record TQ 57 NW 56 - Linear Ditch Found on Land at Joyce Green Lane, Dartford

Summary

A linear ditch was found to run almost north-south for a length of over 46 m. The only artefacts located within the fill of the ditch consisted of some flint fragments that show evidence of being possibly waste flakes and one piece of burnt flint. A small sherd of flint-tempered pottery was retrieved from the ploughsoil directly above the ditchfill possibly of late Bronze Age/early Iron Age. Although the ditch is of uncertain date it is not believed to be of prehistoric date.
