Monument record TQ 94 NE 63 - Burnt pit at Leacon Lane
Summary
An archaeological evaluation was undertaken by the Museum of London Archaeology Service on the site of Leacon Lane, to the south of Charing and to the north-west of Ashford, between the 27th of July and the 3rd of August 1998. The evaluation formed part of a wider programme of archaeological investigations along the line of the future Channel Tunnel Rail Link, the aim of which is to assess the effect of the construction upon the cultural heritage. Only one archaeological feature, a pit with a burnt fill, was encountered and the only other disturbances below topsoil were caused by several ancient tree boles and a number of recent land drains.
