Full Description

Field Boundaries forming part of a fragmented field system of post-Medieval date were visible as very low earthworks in LIDAR Environment Agency DTM 07-DEC-2017. They were recorded as levelled earthworks on Next Perspectives APGB Imagery 07-APR-2021.

They were mapped as part of the Historic England Isle of Thanet project in 2024. Fragments of similar boundaries have been recorded across the Isle of Thanet. (1-3)
