Monument record TR 26 NE 1303 - Area of Anglo Saxon settlement - Thanet Earth
Summary
A small area of Anglo Saxon occupation was uncovered during excavations at Thanet earth, in the south western part of Plateau 8, clustered around Barrow 6. The features included two sunken-featured buildings, three other possible buildings, an enclosure, a well and a few pits and other smaller features. The Anglo-Saxon features would appear to form a small settlement, probably a farmstead. It is likely that other buildings were also present (but have been removed) based on the large quantity of domestic and other debris discovered within the backfilled structures.
