Abstract/Summary
The report details the archaeological evaluation conducted by ASE between 1st and 3rd February 2016.
Taken from the report: "Abstract: Archaeology South-East was commissioned… to undertake archaeological evaluation work in advance of the development of land at St Margaret’s Holiday Park, St Margaret’s-at-Cliffe, near Dover, Kent. A range of archaeological features including a probable Mesolithic or Neolithic pit, two Late Iron Age or Early Roman large pits (possibly waterholes or for quarrying) and a probable Iron Age / Roman coaxial field system as well as undated postholes were recorded. Possible Bronze Age activity is also present. The site is apparently pristine with archaeological features surviving beneath intact subsoil and topsoil horizons. The exact character and specific date of the archaeological remains are difficult to ascertain from the limited areas of excavation, but agricultural and settlement activity are both suspected to survive on the site especially given the known prehistoric background of the surrounding area. Any prehistoric settlement activity is considered of archaeological import in light of the South-Eastern Research Framework (SERF)."
