Monument record TR 26 NE 1311 - Medieval Site , structures/occupation area - 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 7 was located just over 15m south of Enclosures 26–32, and comprised an unusual area, possibly enclosed (though not certainly) and with features highly suggestive of an occupation site. One definite sunken feature building was uncovered and several other features which may have also been sunken structures. A six post structure was also uncovered as well as other features including pits and a well. The site produced the latest pottery assemblages from Plateau 1 and suggests settlement activity originated in the later twelfth or more probably the early thirteenth century.
