Monument record TR 37 SE 1461 - Medieval occuparion evidence, Laleham Gap, Margate

Summary

During an archaeological strip map and sample excavation following an earlier phase of evaluation trenching on land on the site of Laleham Gap School, Margate, ahead of the redevelopment of the site for housing, evidence for Medieval occupation was revealed. This was mostly mid to late twelfth to early thirteenth century in date and comprised several ditches some forming sub-rectangular enclosures. Four sunken-featured buildings were set within the enclosures, and a few pits of indeterminate function were also identified. Two wells were associated with one of the enclosure complexes.
