Abstract

• As 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 to the north of the M20, approximately 7.5km to the west of Ashford, Kent. The site was split into two fields (west and east) by Oakover Lane and was centred on 74832/27556 on the URL site grid. Thirty-seven trenches were laid out to sample the evaluation area where earlier fieldwalking had identified surface concentrations of prehistoric worked flint and medieval pottery.
