Full Description
Between 2009 and 2011 Archaeology South-East carried out a programme of works on land north of Leysdown Road, Warden Bay, on the site now occupied by Warden Bay Primary School and land to the east of it. Two intercutting pits of Neolithic date were found. Probable Neolithic pottery was recovered from one of the pits, and from later features elsewhere on the site, suggesting more substantial occupation of the area that has been truncated by later activity. A third pit contained a single horseshoe scraper of Neolithic/Early Bronze Age date and may therefore also be of Neolithic date. (1)
