Boarley Farm, ARC BFM 97
No full textAs part of a wider programme of archaeological investigation along the route of the proposed Channel Tunnel Rail Link, Union Railways Limited (URL) commissioned the Museum of London Archaeology Service (MoLAS) to evaluate a strip of land situated near the base of the North Downs, to the east of the A229, near Maidstone, Kent. The site was centred on 55925/39444 on the URL site grid and 64 trenches were laid out to sample the evaluation area; two further trenches were added during the fieldwork. The site had been identified as having good archaeological potential during earlier field-walking
Mersham, ARC MSH 97
No full textAs part of a programme of archaeological investigations along the route of the Channel Tunnel Rail Link, Union Railways Limited (URL) commissioned the Museum of London Archaeology Service (MoLAS) to undertake an evaluation comprising nine trenches situated in c 2ha. of land 5km to the south-east of the centre of Ashford, Kent. The area of investigation was bounded by the existing London to Folkestone Railway to the south, Church Road to the west, Court Lodge Farm and the parish church of St.John the Baptist to the north, and open fields to the east

The work was conducted as part of an extensive programme of archaeological investigation carried out in advance of the construction of the Channel Tunnel Rail Link (CTRL).An area of late Iron Age/ early Romano-British activity, identified to the east of Boarley Farm during an evaluation of the CTRL corridor, has been designated for preservation in situ

Northumberland Bottom (West Of), ARC WNB 97
No full textAs part of a larger programme of archaeological investigation along the route of the Channel Tunnel, Rail Link Union Railways Limited (URL) commissioned the Museum of London Archaeology Service (MoLAS) to undertake an evaluation of forty-four trial trenches situated in c. 10 hectares of fields south of the A2 and some four kilometres to the south from the centre of Gravesend, Gravesham, Kent
Tollgate, ARC TLG 98
No full textAs part of a larger programme of archaeological investigation along the route of the Channel Tunnel Rail Link, Union Railways (South) Limited (URS) commissioned the Museum of London Archaeology Service (MoLAS) to undertake an archaeological excavation at Tollgate (site code ARC TLG 98), to the south of the A2 near Gravesend, Kent, in 1998. The site had been previously evaluated in 1997. The excavation examined a colluvial sequence with a trench located on the eastern side of a dry valley
Mersham (West of), ARC MSW 97
No full textAs part of a programme of archaeological investigation along the route of the Channel tunnel Rail Link, Union Railways (URL) commissioned the Museum of London Archaeology Service (MoLAS) to undertake an evaluation of five trenches at Little Hook Farm, in the parish of Mersham, Kent TR 0465 3965, URL grid 84636E/19672N. The work took place between the 5th - 7th November 1997. The aim of the evaluation was to examine a number of geophysical anomalies. Archaeological features consisted of elements of a series of linear field ditches, probably of post-medieval date, and a ditch of late Iron Age date (100 BC to AD 60-70) in 1974TT. The Iron Age ditch contained several large unabraded pot sherds which suggests that there was an unlocated contemporary settlement nearby. Geologically the site lies on the boundary between the Cretaceous Lower Greensand/Speenton Clay and the Weald Clay. In all trenches there was an accumulation of brickearth type sediments of late Pleistocene and Holocene date from which the top soil was derived
Stratford Freight Terminal, ARC SFT 96
No full textThe site (SFT96) is located at the Stratford Freight Terminal in the London Borough of Newham. It lies within the floodplain of the River Lea at a height of between 4.22m and 6.78m OD, and covers an area centred on TQ 5382 1847. No previous archaeological or antiquarian explorations or findings have been recorded within the limits of the site, so that the principal indicator of its potential is a series of 30 trial pits excavated for geotechnical purposes by Foundation & Exploration Services Ltd. The Museum of London Archaeological Service (MoLAS) was commissioned by the latter to provide an archaeological assessment of the results, and the pits were accordingly monitored
Great Wood (Area 16), ARC GWE 98
No full textThe Museum of London Archaeology Service (MoLAS) was commissioned by Union Railways Limited (URL) to undertake an archaeological evaluation at Great Wood, Kent (ARC GWE98). A total of twelve trial trenches were excavated in two areas in August 1998. The site was situated to the south-west of the M2, in the Civil Parish of Cuxton, Kent. The site was on North Downs Chalk geology and consisted of arable land with wooded areas. The areas of the evaluation incorporated the northern side and part of the base of a dry valley. A deep colluvial sequence (over 3.00m) was recorded in the valley base but no archaeological features were encountered
