Wessex Archaeology

Wessex Archaeology was commissioned to undertake an archaeological strip, map and sample (SMS) of two areas, along with a single trial trench of a 2.4 ha parcel of land located at Lyewood Farm, Boughton Monchelsea, Kent, ME17 4LF.

Area A presented the largest concentration of archaeological features within the site, a rectilinear enclosure and associated contemporary field system were identified along with a small number of pits and postholes, the majority of these features dated to the Late Iron Age - Early Romano British period, while a small number of the discrete features remain undated. A single ditch, a Late Iron Age – Early Romano-British period boundary ditch which corresponded to a feature identified by the geophysical survey was exposed within area B.
