Monument record TR 26 NE 1310 - Medieval Site 6 , enclosures - 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 6 comprised a north-south aligned string of adjacent enclosures, all rectilinear, along the extreme western edge of the northern part of the site (Plateau 1 and its pond area), c. 160– 190m west of Trackway 28. They were only partially exposed, with the western extent lying beyond the limits of excavation. Parts of 9 enclosures were identified in total, they overlay part of the medieval field system which was exposed across the site. It seems likely that this site represents a series of agricultural paddocks. (location accurate to the nearest 1m based on available information)
