A Post-Medieval field system and possible trackway were found during an excavation in 1999 at Snarkhurst Wood prior to CTRL works. They overlaid the earlier, late Iron Age/early Romano British settlement and in some areas had severely truncated the Iron age features, most notably to the west of the main post-medieval boundary(1).
