Monument record TQ 56 SW 16 - Late Iron Age/early Roman enclosure, Lullingstone Park

Summary

Late Iron Age and Roman settlement revealed in 1947 in Lullingstone Park by pottery scatters in ploughed field. Excavated in 1964-5, revealing a ditched enclosure, approximately 60 by 67 feet, associated with stratified pottery of the first century. Enclosures, pits and fragmentary enclosures are visible on air photographs of the mid 1970s, although their antiquity or association with the excavated site is unclear.
