Monument record TR 36 SW 476 - Large group of middle to late Anglo Saxon Pits, Cliffsend Farm, Ramsgate
Summary
A group of 74 pits of a middle – late Anglo Saxon date were recorded in the southern part of the site during excavations at Cliffsend Farm, Ramsgate. There was a large number of marine shell and charred plant remains recorded in the fills of these pits, which led to the possible interpretation of the area as a food processing site, though this is not confirmed and it is possible that the pits may have had some ritual function, possibly feasting (location accurate to the nearest 1m based on available information)
