Monument record TR 26 NE 1305 - Medieval Site 1, enclosures and SFBs - Plateau 1, Thanet Earth
Summary
The medieval features on Thanet Earth dated to between the mid-eleventh century to the early part of the fourteenth (possibly extending to AD 1350). The activity is primarily agricultural in nature with significant elements of domestic occupation. A site wide system of enclosures appears to be intimately related to various trackways across the site. The activity around these enclosures has been grouped into a number of Medieval ‘sites’. Site 1 was located at the extreme northern end of the investigation, it comprised a complex of features including three enclosures and three definite and two possible sunken-featured structures. Activity here appears to largely date to between 1075 and 1175, though one enclosure may be later (up to c. 1250)(location accurate to the nearest 1m based on available information)
