Full Description
From the report:
"An archaeological evaluation was carried out by Archaeology South-East at Horsted Park (Phase 2), Former Mid Kent College Site, Chatham, Kent between 12th and 13th October 2015. Five trenches measuring up to 30m in length were excavated. The foundations of late 18th or early 19th century farm buildings and associated features were recorded. One undated pit was also recorded. Considerable disturbance had taken place during the construction and demolition of the buildings and no other finds or features of archaeological interest were noted...
The excavation of five trenches (nos. 24-28) was proposed to evaluate the southern area of the site. Upon commencing the evaluation, it was necessary to relocate or reduce the size all of the trenches because of mature trees, potential live services, reptile fencing, or to maintain access to
the site..
Trench 25 was located along the northern boundary of the site and aligned north-south. It measured 30.00m long and was 1.80m wide. The trench was 0.35m deep at its maximum. Excavation ceased at the top of natural clay with flints geology. The natural was cut by one undated feature. Towards the centre of the trench was an ovoid pit [25/004]. It measured approximately 1.10m in diameter and 0.06m deep and was filled with a compact mid brown-orange clay (25/005). Two lumps of chalk were recorded within the fill, but no finds were recovered." (1)
