Monument record TQ 87 SW 1264 - ?Medieval or post medieval counter wall, Yantlet Creek
Summary
The earthworks of a possible enclosure can be seen on aerial photographs taken in 1947. This incomplete enclosure was situated on the marshes north of Damhead Creek. It was defined by narrow parallel ditches circa 2.4m apart which enclosed an area circa 56m by 39m. These cut and are therefore later than the post-medieval drainage present across the site. The site, which was mapped from aerial photographs as part of the English Heritage: Hoo Peninsula Landscape Project, has since been levelled.
