Monument record TR 36 NW 1174 - Iron Age features, including probable post-built structure and inhumation discovered during the East Kent Access Route excavations (2009-2011)
Summary
During the East Kent Access Route excavations (2009-2011) a number of Iron Age post holes, probably including a post-built structure, and an inhumation burial were discovered. No finds were recovered but it is likely that the features represent a continuation of iron age settlement previously discovered to the south on the Minster Services site.
