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. (location accurate to the nearest 1m based on available information)
