Full Description
The Museum of London Archaeological Service carried out an evaluation in 1997 at Boarley Farm prior to CTRL works and found evidence of Medieval activity on the site. A very large medieval quarry pit, a pit and a boundary ditch were recorded the the south-west of Boarley farm. To the east of the farm a medieval/post-medieval road appeared to be aligned north-east/south-west along the edge of the site. This road may have connected Boxley Abbey (to the south) with the Pilgrims Way (to the north) and may predate Boarley Lane. It was quite well preserved; having been buried when the field was extended over it towards the present hedgerow. (1-4)
