Monument record TR 36 SW 450 - Early Roman activity comprisng trackways and enclosures located across Zone 6 of the East Kent Access Excavations.
Summary
A focus of Early Roman activity was discovered across zone 6 of the excavations associated with the construction of the east Kent Access routeway in Thanet. The features overlay an area of earlier activity and many may have continued in use. Largely the activity is represented by a series of enclosures, trackways and pits with little structural evidence. The earliest roman activity here is characterised as a minor nucleated settlement. (location accurate to the nearest 1m based on available information)
