Monument record TR 04 SW 113 - Medieval settlement area north of Sevington railhead

Summary

During archaeological work prior to construction of the Channel Tunnel Rail Link possible 12th century buildings and a possible field system or rear of medieval properties was found. Linear features were tentatively identified as horticultural bedding trenches or part of one or possibly two timber buildings of late 12th or 13th century date. Slots and post-holes of a possible 12th century building were located 60m south east of Orchard Cottage, Sevington. The identification of a possible field system was based on the discovery of ditches located to the rear of Maytree Cottages but this may have also been the rear of medieval properties fronting Church Road.
