Summary

Ditches and wall, possibly medieval in date were found in 1998 prior to construction work for the Channel Tunnel Rail Link. The site at Westwell Leacon to the north west of Ashford revealed archaeological features, most of which were unrelated and undated ditches and drains. The foundation wall was made of chalk and may possibly have been a medieval boundary wall.
