Full Description
The fragmented cropmark remains of a possible later prehistoric settlement seen at TQ 7315 7245 and mapped from aerial photographs.
The site appears as a number of incomplete ditch-defined rectilinear enclosures (the most complete of which measures 44m x 32m), pits and linear ditches, and a possible trackway. The site lies adjacent to the cropmark remains of three possible Bronze Age round barrows which have been recorded separately (NMR Monuments numbers: 416913, 1544039 and 1544045). The cropmarks of the ring ditches and the settlement coincide and it is not possible to tell from the aerial photographs which site predates which. These features were all mapped from aerial photographs as part of the English Heritage: Hoo Peninsula Landscape Project. (1)
