Full Description

An enclosure of Bronze Age/iron Age date was visible as a cropmark in HEA 29754/27 29-JUN-2015. It is in close proximity to at least two other enclosures and further fragmentary enclosures which, on morphological grounds, are likely of varied dates.

The sub-rectangular enclosure measures about 53.7m by 54.6m on plan, with an opening in its north-west side. A small pit, presumably contemporary, is visible as a cropmark in the interior. These features were mapped as part of the Historic England Isle of Thanet project in 2024. (1)
