Monument record TR 15 NE 46 - Bronze Age & EM Finds, Canterbury Christ Church University
Summary
Thirty five intercutting pits and a number of post holes were revealed in 1987 during excavations ahead of the construction of a paramedical centre for Christ Church College. One pit produced possible Bronze Age pottery and is the first evidence for Bronze age occupation found close to the city of Canterbury. Other pits produced 8th century Anglo Saxon occupation debris and indications of metal working in the area and this has been interpreted as evidence for the existence of a small secular settlement north of the precincts of St Augustine's Abbey
