Monument record TR 26 NE 1279 - Possible Early Bronze Age pond barrow - Plateau 2, Thanet Earth
Summary
A large depression which though natural in origin was subsequently modified and utilised during the early Bronze Age period and perhaps later, probably as a ‘pond barrow’. It was located just above the 27m OD contour on plateau 2 and comprised a metalled/flint line area into which a pit had been cut. This contained hearth material which was datable to 1921–1625 cal BC. (location accurate to the nearest 1m based on available information)
