Abstract/Summary

The report details the results of an archaeological Walkover Survey, Metal Detecting Survey, and Evaluation Trenching carried out on land at Junction 10A Sevington. Taken from the report: " Wessex Archaeology was commissioned…to undertake a site walkover survey, metal detecting survey and archaeological field evaluation on land at Sevington West, Ashford, Kent centred on National Grid Reference (NGR) 60400 141085. The fieldwork was required to inform a planning proposal for a new road junction to serve a number of distribution warehouses proposed to the south of the Site. The highway improvements comprise new infrastructure works and will provide a new M20 Junction 10A which will include a link road to the A2070 and new slip roads. An attenuation pond and associated landscaping works are also proposed. The walkover survey and metal detecting survey comprised a 12.5% sample of the study area and the archaeological evaluation consisted of the mechanical excavation of 9 trenches measuring 30m by 2m, comprising a 2% sample of the area of proposed development. No archaeological material was observed in the majority of the trenches excavated during this evaluation."
