Monument record TQ 57 SW 224 - Late Bronze Age- Early Iron Age Enclosure, East Hill, Dartford
Summary
During evaluation work prior to development a substantial ditch was found. Aligned nw-se it was 2.2m wide and 2.3m deep with steeply cut sides and a 0.8m wide flat base. Within this feature an interface representing a weathered horizon or recut was U shaped at the upper part which narrowed to a steeply sided V-shaped profile. A late Bronze Age/early Iron Age pot sherd from a flint-tempered jar (1000BC - 400BC) and burnt flint were recovered from this fill. This ditch may be part of a defensive structure.
