In April 1950 a trench was dug by the Canterbury Excavation Committee in the vicinity of the current 1, 3-4 Marlowe Avenue. It was coded CXVI EI and although much disturbed by later pits revealed evidence of Belgic occupation. This included pottery and a number of post-holes thought to be part of a hut. A pebble surface was seen at the east end of the trench and was found to contain 1st century Samian sherds; it was sealed by an occupation deposit of Roman date. Street silt of Roman date was also observed, this yielded pottery of c. 130-70 AD.
Also parts of a medieval mortared chalk-walled structure and parts of the medieval St. Mary Bredin church were located.
