Monument record TR 16 NE 1365 - Prehistoric and Roman occupation at Blacksole Farm, north of Thanet Way, near Herne Bay, Kent
Summary
In 2005 an archaeological evaluation discovered a range of later Bronze Age/Early Iron Age and possile Early-Mid Roman features. Calcined flint grits and the remains of a possible hearth or kiln suggests the site had industrial aspects which complemented domestic activity, in part seen in the form of an unurned human cremation.
