Monument record TQ 75 NE 380 - Late Iron Age/Romano-British activity at Boarley Farm

The Museum of London Archaeology Service carried out an evaluation on land near Boarley Farm, Boxley, in 1997 prior to CTRL works. The evaluation revealed two areas of occupation,the first was situated on high ground to the west of the site and consisted of two animal burials (sheep and cow), a posthole, pit and ditch. This area had been heavily truncated by ploughing and only deep cut features survived. The second area was situated to the east of the site, in low ground and consisted of 34 postholes and 4 pits. The associated occupation layers of these features appear to have been truncated by ancient ploughing (possibly of Roman date), although the domestic refuse was still intermixed with the ploughsoil (1-3)
