Leda Cottages, ARC LED 98

The Museum of London Archaeology Service undertook an archaeological evaluation between the 4th and the 6th of August 1998 on the site of Leda Cottages. The site is formed of three separate areas, situated to the south of Charing and to the north-west of Ashford. The excavation forms part of a series of evaluations which were added to the larger programme of archaeological investigations undertaken in 1997 along the line of the future Channel Tunnel Rail Link. The aim was to assess the effect of construction of the new railway upon the cultural heritage. Of the 18 trial trenches only 3293TT exposed an archaeological feature: a truncated pit [14] of post-medieval date.
