Introduction
During August 1998, the Oxford Archaeological Unit undertook a field evaluation along the route of the Channel Tunnel Rail Link on land west of the M2 and north of Stony Lane and Upper Nashenden Farm.
The evaluation at Little Monk Wood, which comprised 22 trenches, recorded a sequence of solifucted chalk, a late poorly-preserved glacial soil horizon (probably of the late Devensian period c. 11,000 BP) and a sequence of Holocene colluvial deposits. No archaeological features were located, although struck flints, burnt flints and a sherd of late Bronze Age pottery were recovered from a deposit close to the base of the colluvial sequence.
N.B. Much of this work here has been superseeded by works associated with the Phase Two and Schemewide programmes, but are included here for completeness. Those wishing to use the most current data are urged to view the Channel Tunnel Rail Link Section 1 Project pages.
