Monument record TR 26 NE 1280 - Middle-Late Bronze Age enclosure and possible structure - Plateau 5, Thanet Earth

Summary

An enclosure or possible field was situated near the centre of Plateau 5 on virtually the highest part of the entire site. Only its east and south sides were well defined, other alignments possibly truncated in antiquity, with just a fragmented suggestion of its western side delineated by ditch segments which formed a rough rectangle aligned north-east to south-west and about 90m by 50m in area internally. Most of the internal area of Enclosure 2 was featureless but a possible structure was located in the south-east corner and in the norther east corner 4 post holes may represent another structure. (location accurate to the nearest 1m based on available information)
