Description

An archaeological evaluation was undertaken over an area of approximately 0.6ha on land adjacent to Station Garage, Thurston. The site is located on the western slope of Thedwastre Hill which is thought to be the site of Thedwastre Hundred meeting place. The evaluation provided evidence of the heavily truncated natural slope with very little archaeology surviving. Several 20th century features survived including postholes and a brick road running towards the present railway station with only one earlier undated feature, an east to west aligned ditch, identified.
