Monument record TR 36 NE 2488 - Early / middle iron age enclosure, St Stephen's College

Summary

A joint excavation by Canterbury Archaeological Trust and the Trust for Thanet Archaeology following an evaluation and an initial strip and map phase. The final phase of excavation work was carried out by the Trust for Thanet Archaeology alone. All the work was carried out in 1999. From the Early Iron Age there was an enclosure on the site. Several possible four post structures were located within the enclosure. A number of pits were also dug during this occupation. Activity continued through the Middle Iron Age and possibly into the Late Iron Age. Material from the Late Iron Age was found in the upper fills of many older features, though some pits were located in the same area as the Early and Middle Iron Age pits, suggesting some possible continuation of occupation on the site.
