A Transco service trench cut in July 1999 at Wye which produced nearly 3kg of Roman brick and tile. Five tegula fragments were found with other building material including one imbrex, a piece of brick and five miscelaneous pieces. Four fabrics could be identified; two similar to that produced at kilns in Canterbury, a third form Canterbury or Wye and the fourth whicxh is paralleled in London. Three tegula had flange profiles consisting of a type which has occurred commonly on sites in Kent. The material was reported as being "fresh", unabraded and bearing no trace of mortar. There are reports of finds 100m to the nw (TR 04 NE 22) and sw suggesting a further focus of activity on the low hill overlooking the Stour.(1)
