Great Wood (Area 16), ARC GWE 98

The 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
