Nore Hill, Chelsham

Excavation by A Skelton to test approximately circular earthwork feature (about 200m in diameter) recognised on aerial photographs. The bank and ditch were best visible across the neck of the spur and were sectioned there. The ditch was found to be about 2m deep and 4m wide at the top with LBA pottery in the primary fill and RB late 3rd-4th century material in the upper fill. A trench in the interior produced large amounts of burnt flint, waste flakes and more LBA pottery. Small pieces of copper and bronze were also found, and metal detector users later discovered the edge of a bronze axe and 11 pieces of waste bronze. (202; see report in this volume)
