Title An Archaeological Investigation at Glebe Land, Harrietsham: Interim Report
Author/Originator
Date/Year 1998

Abstract/Summary

In April a wb began on work for new housing development at the site known as Glebeland at Harrietsham. Immediately archaeology was recovered and evaluation trenching commenced after consultation with the developer. Evidence gathered suggests that occupation of the site began in the LIA and continued into the Roman period until probably the 4thC. The site then seems to have been abandoned or contracted and a soil horizon accumulated over it. Cut into this soil horizon were the foundations of seven buildings. Features located in the vicinity of the buildings were dated to between the fifth and seventh century and by association it may be argued that the buildings dated to this period.
