Full Description
Cropmarks of numerous large pits or depressions of uncertain date centred at TR 3640 6732 within a single large field to the west of Northwood, to the east of Haine Farm which are visible on aerial photographs. Some may be chalk quarries of uncertain date, others may be the remains of natural solution holes. However, at least one Dene hole has been identified by Trust for Thanet Archaeology as a possible Prehistoric flint mine. These maculae were all mapped as part of the Historic England: Ramsgate HAZ project. (1-2)
