Monument record TR 26 NE 1313 - Medieval Site 9 , enclosed settlement area including structures - 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 9 consisted of a partially exposed ditched enclosure, of which the south-western half had been incompletely eroded away at a later date. Site 9 bore a resemblance to settlement sites elsewhere on Thanet Earth with a definite enclosed area encircling a variety of structures and other settlement features such as pits and a well. Though dating evidence was sparse, it is likely that activity in this area dates to c. 1075-1175. (location accurate to the nearest 1m based on available information)
