Full Description

Watching Brief producing possible remains of prehistoric hut sites, floors and drip trench and enclosure. There was a lack of datable materials (burn daub and one prehistorc pot sherd) but huts sites reminisent in form and state of preservation to Late Bronze Age hut circles encountered by excavator at Monkton and Ebbsfleet. The thin general scatter of pot boilers in the area and lack of pottery may indicate a low level of occupation.(1)
