An evaluation was carried out in July 2000 to the rear of No.'s 7, 8 and 9 High Street, Eastry. Seven features were found, all believed to date from the medieval and post-medieval periods (1).

Due to significant archaeological remains found earlier a follow up excavation took place in August. Two prehistoric struck flints, including a worked scrapper, together with five calcined flints were recovered as residual finds across the excavation site. A single piece of flint-tempered pottery databale to the LBA or IA period was recovered from a later gully. Evidence of Later activity has also been found in the area. (TR 35 SW 199-201)(2)
