Monument record TR 26 NE 1307 - Medieval Site 3, enclosures and a SFB- Plateau 2, 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 3 was located on the northern part of Plateau 2, and comprised an isolated enclosure that was established in early in the medieval period, representing a continuation of the string of early enclosures along trackway 28. It was later replaced by a larger enclosure, a sunken feature building appears to be associated with this later phase enclosure. (location accurate to the nearest 1m based on available information)
