Monument record TR 36 NE 2607 - Early Neolithic mortuary Monument, Broadley Road Margate
Summary
During works associated with the installation of a pipeline near Broadley Road, Northdown (part of a wider scheme running between Margate, Broadstairs and Weatherlees) rectilinear enclosure was partially exposed in a narrow section of easement. This has been interpreted as part of an early Neolithic mortuary feature, possibly part of an earthen long barrow. (location accurate to the nearest 1m based on available information)
