Pilgrims Way, ARC PIL 98

The Oxford Archaeological Unit was commissioned by Union Railways Ltd (URL) to conduct a field evaluation at land to the south of the Pilgrim's Way and east of the old Chatham Road, as part of a wider programme of archaeological investigations along the route of the Channel Tunnel Rail Link. Two previous evaluations were undertaken in 1997 for URL adjacent to the present site: White Horse Stone (ARC WHS 97), situated immediately to the north, revealed archaeological features and artefacts which date to the late Bronze Age/early Iron Age period. Boarley Farm (ARC BFM 97), located to the south, revealed archaeological features and finds of the late Iron Age/early Roman period
