Description

{1} Geophysical survey of 6ha of land at Jack's Green. The survey detected an area of possible industrial activity and a large number of ditches defining enclosures, a trackway and boundaries. Although the ditches are most likely to date from the Iron Age or Roman periods, some could relate to medieval or post0-medieval forestry activity. Other features detected by the survey included a possible former stream channel and some remains probably associated with the Second World War King’s Cliffe Airfield.
