Summary

The cropmarks of a trackway recorded from aerial photgraphs taken by the Royal Commission on the Historic Monuments of England as part of a project to classify cropmarks across Kent. Two parallel linear features were also seen during a geophysical survey and an archaeological evaluation of the site confirmed their presence and that they have a probable early Roman date.
