Monument record TR 36 SE 797 - Chalk Hill Neolithic Causewayed Enclosure - outer pit alignment

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. One of these arcs may have been represented by an alignment of small pits of post holes (outer pit alignment). (location accurate to the nearest 1m based on available information)
