Following the fourteenth century storm event recorded on the site, "the next clear phase of activity is dated to the late-medieval/early post-medieval period. Archaeological evidence in Area A suggests the focus of the subsequent activity shifts to the northwest, somewhat further back from the beach.". (2)

"In Area A, a silty clay earthen floor was found with what appeared to be evidence of burning. Immediately to the west of this was a layer of chalk, possibly representing a make-up dump for another floor. On the west side of the chalk deposit a large pit measuring c. 4m across contained burnt material in its base. A row of large posts crossed the excavation area immediately west of the floor and make-up layer remnants, on a northnortheast by southsouthwestern orientation, possibly representing a fence or palisade line. Slightly further west was another substantial pit". (2)

"A number of structural elements were identified in Trench 5, including what appeared to be a shallow construction trench with chalk remnants running parallel to the southwestern site boundary; adjoining this feature on its northeast side was a cut, which may represent a robbed-out wall fragment. Further east still a third c. 0.3m wide foundation element ran again on the same alignment.". (2)

"To the northwest in Trench 2 was a heavily truncated foundation element surviving to 0.75m in width by 1.10m in length with both faces having been damaged by modern foundations. It was constructed of stone cobbles and gravel. Immediately east of the wall stub were two, probably associated, postholes. These structural elements almost certainly belonged to a late medieval/post-medieval building (Building 3) facing on to Fairfield Road. Further north along the same boundary, in Trench 3 a rubbish pit containing medieval pottery was located." (2).

"To the northeast of Area A, in Trench 1 of the Southlands School, Dymchurch Road (NCR 02) evaluation area, a fire pit and flue-type feature were exposed. In the centre of the fire pit, near the flue was the base of an oval unfrogged brick built structure" (2).

A significant medieval and early post-medieval pottery asemblage was found, providing useful dating evidence despite a degree of residuality.
