Monument record TQ 96 NW 96 - Neolithic and/or Bronze Age Features on land north of Ridham Avenue, Kemsley

Summary

Archaeological features were recorded along the western leg of a proposed road scheme (west of what the report refers to as junction 3 of the scheme) and dated on the basis of flint work and ceramic evidence, to the Neolithic and/or Bronze Age. The interpretation of the features was problematic, given the limited exposure of the trenching and poor weather conditions, however ditches, gullies, pits and postholes were identified along the road corridor in an area approximately 300m long. Approximate grid references are given for the western and eastern extents of the observed remains. To the south, on the higher land adjacent to Ridham Avenue in the area around the proposed junction 4, two monument records were created for inter-cutting prehistoric features of mid-late Bronze Age date (TQ 96 NW 97) and three ditches of late Iron Age and/or Romano-British date (TQ 96 NW 98) .
