A very large quantity of Iron Age pits were discovered during excavations on Plateau 8 of the Thanet Earth site. Sherds from several prehistoric pots were uncovered within these, some may have contained cremation burials and others possibly votive offerings. 176 (of 384) were classified as storage pits, many of the others may have also been cut for storage but were smaller in size, and it is likely that several of those defined as rubbish pits may have started life as storage pits. Alongside the sherds of pottery, finds including loom weights and quern stones were also uncovered in some of the pits (location accurate to the nearest 1m based on available information)
