Eastchurch, Isle of Sheppey
Evaluation and excavation of a Neolithic causewayed enclosure and a Late Bronze Age enclosure.

Client: Jones Homes.

Highstead Farm Quarry, Chislet, Canterbury
Excavations revealed a possible barrow, a cremation/pyre cemetery, and settlement evidence of the Middle and Late Bronze Age. Fire-cracked flint associated with features beside a channel may represent a ‘burnt mound’. Three prehistoric trackways, including a possible droveway were identified. A field system, probably Roman, was superimposed upon the prehistoric remains. A 13th- to 14th- century farmstead, consisting of a series of enclosures and associated features, was also recorded.

Kingsnorth, Hoo, Isle of Grain
Excavation prior to the construction of a new power station recovered finds from the Mesolithic onwards. An agricultural landscape was established in the Early Iron Age and included a possible droveway, evidence for salt-works and a possible round-house. There was an apparent hiatus in activity until the Late Iron Age, when there was a settlement shift. During the Romano-British period activity intensified, reaching a peak during the mid 2nd to 3rd centuries when pottery production became prominent.
