The site appears as sub-rectangular ditched enclosure38m x c.45m. A large dark macula of a hollowed or extracted area cuts into the NE corner of the enclosure .This is one of a number of similar enclosures in this immediate area which may form a larger contemporary settlement four of which have been recorded together in TR 36 NW 136. The enclosures are in a linear arrangement suggesting location on former tracks or roads. This feature was mapped as part of the Historic England Thanet Landscape Mapping Project 2024 (1)
