A short section of Romano-British ditch was the only feature found during evaluation of land at Dalefield Way, Gravesend. The ditch (in Trench 23) was aligned north west to south east and contained Romano-British pottery in the fill.

"The Romano-British ditch is substantial in size and suggests the possibility of a significant level of activity within the local area."

"The ditch measured 2.49m wide and 1.15m deep. The ditch contained a single primary fill 2308 and two secondary fills (SF) 2306 & 2307, which each contained frequent rounded and sub-rounded chalk. SF2306 contained pottery, fired clay, slag and struck flint with the pottery being dated to the Romano-British period."

In addition, "the colluvium contained residual finds dating to the Late Bronze Age, Iron Age, Roman and medieval periods suggesting settlement within the surrounding area". (1)
