Area B1 consisted of a 0.34 hectare area excavated in advance of the Leybourne Bypass. The area was targeted on the location of a number of medieval ditches found during an earlier evaluation. The excavation found a range of prehistoric finds including late Bronze Age/early Iron Age pottery, middle Iron Age pottery and a range of worked flints. All the features dated to the medieval period and consisted of field system boundaries, a sub-rectangular bakery structure, postholes, pits and tree throws, mostly dating from the 13th to 14th centuries. In the north west corner of the area a large sub-rectangular construction was sited in a shallow hollow which had been partially terraced. The structure had been developed in three phases. The first was as a small oven, the second as a small hearth and lastly as a clay lined oven on a ragstone base. Raked spreads of charcoal and burnt clay were also present. Pottery sherds were found. A silver penny of Stephen I was found and dated to AD 1145-1150
