Monument record TQ 75 NE 1062 - Medieval Monastic Structures

Summary

Phase 1 structures are likely part of medieval monastic buildings. Phase 2 structures are later in date and seem to have adapted the previous monastic buildings for different uses and phase 4 is what has been interpreted as a horse training ring. Excavations revealed that materials used are of high quality but simple, suggesting potential use by Cisternians, which would be keeping with Boxley Abbey within the same vicintiy. Phase 2 structures are potentially post-medieval in date, although this is currently uncertain.
