Tollgate (South east of), ARC TGS 97

Abstract

• As 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 a field evaluation to the south-east of Tollgate. The site lies approximately 4km to the south of Gravesend in Kent, to the south of the A2 and to the east of the A227. The evaluation covered an area of 8 hectares over three fields, on a shallow north-facing slope. The two northern fields were pasture, and the southern field was under arable crop. A recent geophysical survey identified the western pasture area of the site as having high magnetic susceptibility readings.
