North Holmwood

Excavation by Vivien Ettlinger, J L Gower and L Green for SyAS and SRVSG examined a section of Stane Street, and established the correctnes of the OS line. The road had a raised central area, about 10.2m wide, of clay metalled with flit and some ironstone. It was flanked on the west and probably also on the east side by a wide Ievel area about 3.3m wide, cut into the natural and filled with flint and ironstone, interpreted as probably for drainage needed on this Weald Clay site.
