Two linear cut features dating to the Late Iron Age - early Romano-British periods were found meeting at right angles. Their infills contained lots of pottery.

Another set of linear features were recorded to the NW of the above these consisted of 3 parallel features one of which contained a single sherd of Late Iron Age pottery. The grog tempered pottery, when analysed, was not considered to be "Romanised"

Also at the eastern end of the site several Late Iron Age and Early Romano-British features were concentrated in trenches 1698TT and 1699TT. They are similar in nature and date to a series of slots and ditches found by OAU in the earlier excavations. The presence of late Iron Age and early Romano-British activity is also consistent with fieldwork carried out by the Kent Archaeological Rescue Unit in 1990 as part of a separate project immediately to the south of the railway line. Fieldwalking and trial trenching located at least three sites within this general date range. (1-3)
