Monument record TR 36 SW 445 - Early to middle Iron Age trackways, ditches and enclosures, East Kent Access Route excavations (2009-2011)
Summary
A series of early to middle Iron Age trackways, ditches and enclosures was identified during excavations associated with the construction of the East Kent Access route in Thanet (Zone 6). The complex included a large metalled track which appeared to continue in use into the later Iron age and roman periods. Some of the ditches and trackways appeared to define large enclosures.
