Boarley Farm, ARC BFM 97

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 near the base of the North Downs, to the east of the A229, near Maidstone, Kent. The site was centred on 55925/39444 on the URL site grid and 64 trenches were laid out to sample the evaluation area; two further trenches were added during the fieldwork. The site had been identified as having good archaeological potential during earlier field-walking.
