Excavations at Cheeseman's Green: The Development of Prehistoric, Romano-British and Medieval Landscapes

Wessex Archaeology

Between 2010 and 2019 Wessex Archaeology carried out a programme of archaeological works on a 170 ha development site at Cheeseman’s Green, south-east of Ashford, Kent, centred on NGR 602500 139700. The works, which comprised trial trench evaluations, strip-map-and-sample excavations and watching briefs, revealed evidence for activity dating from the Mesolithic to the post-medieval period, with important evidence for inhabitation and mortuary activity in the Mesolithic period and a particular emphasis on the occupation and organisation of the landscape in the late prehistoric and Romano-British periods.
