Monument record TQ 75 NW 9 - Medieval site, Well Wood, Aylesford

Summary

Earthworks have been recorded in Well Wood, Aylesford. Farming, building and quarrying in the area have destroyed much of the evidence but the earthworks have been recorded as approximately 65m long and 0.6m high internally and 1.2m high externally and 0.6m deep. A section in Well Wood contains stone and roofing tiles, probably medieval. No entrances are visible but there is a well in the SW corner with a causeway nearby. The earthworks may have been used as boundaries rather than fortifications.
