Monument record TR 26 NE 1316 - Medieval Site 12, Agricultural enclosures and associated structures - Plateau 4, 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 12 comprised two enclosures which were the northernmost of a string of enclosures forming ribbon development along the west side of Trackway 30. Both enclosures were associated with sunken features buildings, these appear to have had a domestic function but there is little associated material. This site appears to date to the second and third phase of medieval activity at the site, between c. 1075 and 1225. (location accurate to the nearest 1m based on available information)
