Land to the East of Clacket Lane, Westerham, Kent

Oxford Archaeology (OA), was commissioned by Skanska Balfour Beatty Joint
Venture to undertake recording of potential archaeological remains prior to the
construction of a temporary compound area and a permanent noise reduction soil
bund on land to the east of Clacket Lane and Cupids Coppice and north of the M25
near Westerham, Kent.
No significant archaeological remains were present. The excavation revealed only
very sparse remains. These include treeholes within the western part of the site that
appear to have been a result of entirely natural processes. Five small pits scattered
sparsely across a large area were recorded with in situ scorching and charcoal rich
fills. None produced any artefactual material. These may represent occasional
woodland activities such as charcoal production. In addition an undated linear ditch
was recorded
