Medieval New Romney, A Town Shaped by Water: The Archaeology of the First Time Sewer Scheme

Between 2004 and 2007 a series of archaeological investigations was undertaken across the town of New Romney and extending into Greatstone to the south-east. The work was conducted as part of the New Romney and Greatstone First Time Sewer Scheme, a project instigated by Southern Water to provide a sewer system for the town. In all, approximately 7.3km of new sewer trench was covered by a detailed archaeological watching brief, with two open area excavations also undertaken following earlier evaluations. See more
