Land to the Rear of the Old School House, Church Lane, New Romney, Kent, Archaeological Evaluation Report. 2001. The Oxford Archaeological Unit carried out a field evaluation at Church Lane, New Romney in Kent on behalf of West Faulkner Associates acting for the Southern Housing Group. The evaluation revealed a series of alluvial deposits of marine origin, some of which probably relate to the documented storm of the late 13th century. It was this storm which was the likely cause of the silting of the harbour at New Romney and the end of its utility as a trading sea port. Within the sequence, evidence of human activity, spanning the 13th century, in the form of burnt patches, cut features, and possible structural remains, were revealed, although only very limited excavation of these deposits was possible. Along with other finds a small quantity of late post-medieval pottery was found. However, the final report fails to mention any details regarding its recovery.
