Monument record TR 36 SE 794 - Chalk Hill Neolithic Causewayed Enclosure - Pit alignment between Inner and Middle Arcs

Summary

Located in the central part of the excavated area, during investigations associated with the construction of the Ramsgate Harbour Approach road in 1997/1998 was a series of three, possibly four or five, concentric arcs of discontinuous groups of cut features. These features were understood to represent part of a ‘causewayed enclosure’ of Early Neolithic Date. A series of five roughly circular pits formed part of the feature. They seemed to be set in a concentric arc set back 2-3m from the southern side of the northern part of the Middle Arc. It is possible that they may represent part of the fourth arc, located between the inner and middle arcs. (location accurate to the nearest 1m based on available information)
