Monument record TR 26 NE 1319 - Medieval Site 15 , agricultural enclosures and a SFB - Plateau 5, 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 15 was a discrete area of activity comprising two interconnected enclosures one an addition to the other located 38m south-west of a quarry. They were primarily associated with a single building (SFB 58), with few other features in the vicinity. It seems likely that these enclosures were primarily agricultural in nature. The site appears to date to the middle/later phases of medieval activity at Thanet earth, between c 1150 and 1350. (location accurate to the nearest 1m based on available information)
