Full Description
From the report:
"Wessex was commisioned by CgMs Consulting on behalf of Lafrage Cement UK to carry out an archaeological watching brief on the groundworks for a new pipeline at the proposed Medway Cement Works, Holborough Road, Kent. The site is centred on NGR 570160 162915.
The watching brief confirmed that the site was almost devoid of significant archaeological remains. However, a portion of a Roman ditch was found. This most likely forms part of a Roman field boundary, and the concentration and quality of finds within the ditch strongly suggests settlement nearby, possibly a farmstead of some status."
