Monument record TR 26 NE 1322 - Medieval Site 18, sunken feature building - Plateau 6, 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 18 comprised a single sunken feature building located towards the southern end of plateau 6. It is the southernmost of the buildings discovered alongside trackway 30. It cut an earlier ditch which may be associated with this trackway. (location accurate to the nearest 1m based on available information)
