An archaoelogical evaluation took place on the site of the former Lympne airfield in 2013. 4 trenches were excavated with features found within 2 of them. The most substantial feature was a ditch measuring 1.7m side and 1.8m deep and aligned north-west by south-east. The main upper filling producesd two small fragments of prehistoric potterym the middle filling contained 2 fesh flint flakes. The limited dating evidence suggests it is prehistoric, perhaps Bronze Afe. It is believed it may represent part of a field boundary. 4 post holes were found in relation to the trench, 3 to the north of the ditch and one to the south east, the post holes appear to be contemporary with the ditch. They yielded two small flint-tempered prehistoric pot sherds and a single prehistoric struck flint. The post-holes might have formed a gateway of some kind by the ditch which may have been a field boundary.
A shallow gully was also excavated, it yielded no datable finds but it seems probably that it is prehistoric. (1)
