Monument record TR 36 NW 1293 - Roman Graves, Tothill Street

Summary

An archaeological evaluation and subsequent excavation on land off Tothill Street in Minster, Thanet revealed a wealth of archaeological features, many of which represent an area of activity/settlement that dates to the Roman period. The features included enclosure ditches, storage pits and numerous sunken featured buildings which were distributed across the site. The settlement seems to have been abandoned by the mid-late 3rd century (though it may again have only migrated a short distance).
