Abstract/Summary

The report details the result of a Geoarchaeological Watching Brief at Oaken Wood. Taken from the report: "In December 2013 Archaeology South-East were commissioned … to undertake an archaeological and geoarchaeological watching brief at Oaken Wood, Hermitage Quarry, Kent. No archaeological features were identified during the removal of woodland. The construction of a tunnel revealed a gull feature which contained Pleistocene sediment and a doline which also contained sediment. Due to the nature and timing of the works and the depth of excavations samples were unable to be collected from the gull; the doline remains to be investigated. This phase has demonstrated that gulls and dolines are present at the site and these have the potential to hold archaeological and palaeoenvironmental material from both the Pleistocene and Holocene."
