Full Description

Post-medieval activity was limited to one ditch, one pit, an agricultural feature, and two quarry pits, one with an associated access via a trackway. Agricultural feature 1119 (Tr11) comprised a series of striations into the Margate Formation Chalk, forming regular cross hatch pattern at 1.6m to 2.9m intervals. Ditch/linear feature 4609 (Tr46) was aligned E-W and measured 0.23m wide by 0.16m depth. The fill contained 5 fragments of post-medieval tile. Trackway 1210 (Tr12) formed a shallow hollow extending into quarry pit 1205/1208 Westwood Village, Thanet: archaeological evaluation
and is likely integral to the quarry providing cart access to the workings. Pottery of fifteenth to sixteenth century date was recovered from the quarry backfill. A single pit 4604 (Tr46) was dated to the post-medieval/modern period. The pit measured 0.62m in diameter by 0.43m depth and contained 1 sherd of eighteenth to nineteenth century pottery, a clay pipe stem and a fragment of glass.

Post-medieval coinage was represented by coins of Elizabeth I (SF9021), Charles I I (SF9067) and a range of other eighteenth to early twentieth century issues. (1)
