During an archaeological investigation ahead of the construction of Thanet Parkway rail station off Hengist Way, Cliffsend, a wide variety of archaeological features finds and deposits were uncovered. These included the routes of two hollow-ways. To the east of the excavation area, a north to south aligned hollow-way corresponds with that recorded during the EKA2 works. The second hollow-way lies to the south of the site and was aligned roughly east to west. The junction where these two throughfares met must have been situated just beyond the southern limit of the site. It is possible that these features originated in the early Iron Age, or even the later Bronze Age, although this cannot be substantiated as dateable material was not recovered from the earliest fills. Excavation demonstrated that the hollow-ways gradually infilled. Pottery recovered from later fills of these features suggests the use of these routes into at least the early Roman period. The hollow-ways represent major long-lived throughfares which almost certainly influenced the organization of land-use in the surrounding area. (information summarised from source) (1)
