Full Description
During the East Kent Access Route excavations (2009-2011) a number of ditches, pits and enclosures were found in zone 26. Pottery and other finds discovered in the fills dated from the middle bronze age to early iron age.
In the southern part of the zone a single ditch containing middle or bronze age pottery ran north-south.
In the centre of the zone elements of a late bronze age or early iron age field system were found. This included a possible enclosure and short ditches running roughly east-west.
At the north of the zone two pits were excavated that contained late bronze age or early iron age pottery together with shell, animal bone, fired clay and domestic waste.
