Monument record TR 26 NE 1291 - Three small Iron Age enclosures - Plateau 8 Thanet Earth
Summary
Three irregular ring ditches of a likely Iron Age date were identified during excavations on Plateau 8 of Thanet Earth. The function of these features is not known, it has been suggested that one may represent the site of a round house. Another idea is that they may have some funerary/ritual function such as excarnation sites of places for ritual feasting. (location accurate to the nearest 1m based on available information)
