Monument record TQ 85 SE 133 - Post-medieval field boundary and undated ditch, Chilston Park

Twelve trenches were excavated in a field evaluation of 2.4ha of land south of Lenham. The site was located to the east of Boughton Road, south-east of Oxley house, and occupies high ground to the north of Lenham Heath Road. Two ditches were located, one containing post-medieval pottery - which is probably an old field boundary - and the other was undated. The pottery recovered was mainly medieval in date and occurred in colluvium and ploughsoil deposits.

A large sherd of probable Iron Age pottery was found near the eastern boundary of the site, however, no associated features of similar date were found(1).
