Full Description
A keyhole excavation took place at No 3 Stephens Close during December 2010 as part of an ongoing series of investigations by Faversham Society Archaeological Research Group. It uncovered two pits which were undated and vcarious residual finds were recovered.
These are termed residual due to the complex and extremely disturbed stratigraphy at the site meaning finds of multiple periods are found in almost every context.
A susbtantial quantity of prehistoric flintwork was recovered from the excavation.
The report states that in contrast with the other excavations at Stephens Close and in the wider Davington Area studied by the "The Davington Mysteries" exacavations the iron age pottery from this site is of a substantially large quantity (thus it is recorded here as a separate medium sized assemblage as opposed to being part of the wider residual pottery evidence recovered).
