Excavations in advance of the Channel Tunnel Rail Link in 2002-3 identified a number of Romano-British property boundaries west of the Ebbsfleet. Within property 11, which was located between the junction of Watling Street and its branch road, an oven with a mid-Roman date was uncovered. This was located in the north eastern corner of the property alongside several other features with a mid-Roman date which appear to represent a late focus of activity within the property after the remainder had been abandoned. The oven was a keyhole shape and contained sherds of mid 3rd century pottery. (1)
