Full Description
Cropmark traces of a possible pit alignment of nine large pits of uncertain date and origin (possibly later prehistoric) located at TQ 8355 7830 to the south of Allhallows-on-Sea. These were mapped from aerial photographs taken by English Heritage in 2011 as part of the English Heritage: Hoo Peninsula Landscape Project. The pits are all approximately 2m in diameter, and arranged in a single row of three aligned ENE-WSW, with the remaining six arranged in a N-S line perpendicular and south of the first three. The cropmarks in this area are confused by the presence of complex cropmarks of the underlying geology, in particular periglacial cracking. This makes identification and isolation of archaeological features difficult. (1)
