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.
