Monument record TR 16 SE 88 - Late Iron Age-Early Romano-British Site at Shelford Farm Estate, Broad Oak Rd, Canterbury

Summary

Evaluation in advance of the construction of a facility relating to Brett Waste Management exposed structual remains of a Late Iron Age-Roman occupation site. The buildings survived in the form of foundations and linear rubble spreads including rubble-filled beam slots and may have been in two phases. Also present was an associated hollow way later converted into a metalledpath with a fence running along its eastern edge. The substantial foundations suggest that a strongly-built structure measuring 8.9m by 10.5m was the principal building within the farm complex.
