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. One of these arcs may have been represented by an alignment of small pits of post holes (outer pit alignment). It was located Approximately 7m to the north-west of Segment 5 of the Outer Arc and comprised nine small pits or post holes, arcing south-west/north-east and spanning just over 10m. The subcircular (and occasionally sub-rectangular) features in the alignment were generally of similar dimensions (mostly in the region of 0.4-0.6m wide), with minor variations in depth (0.2-0.4m). No chronologically diagnostic finds were recovered from these features, and no continuation of the alignment could be seen to the north-east or southwest. Notwithstanding this, it is feasible that this short alignment, apparently concentric to the other arcs of the enclosure, may represent an alignment perhaps similar to that lying between the Inner and Middle Arcs.
