Full Description
2 gullies orientated north-north west to south-south east identified after the land was stripped in preparation for building works. The first gully, which was exposed for a length of 9 metres was found in the northern corner of the site. The second gully was found towards the southern corner and recorded for 5 metres. They were an average of 0.10-0.11m deep and 0.34m wide.
A total of 58 pieces of pottery were recovered, the majority of them from the same vessel; a simple upright rimmed bowl or jar of the Late Iron Age. Other types of pottery were found including a grog tempered bead rimmed jar. These were all credited as being typical examples from this area in Kent.
