Monument record TR 26 NE 1292 - Iron Age quarry complexes - Plateau 8 Thanet Earth

Summary

Two groups of large intercutting pits were discovered at either end of the Iron Age settlement located on Plateau 8 of Thanet Earth. These varied in size and appeared to have been backfilled deliberately. Though not certain it seems likely that they represent areas of quarrying.
