Monument record TR 36 NE 222 - Adits and World War magazine, near The Thatched Cottage, Kingsgate, Broadstairs and St. Peters
Summary
A number of holes in the grounds of The Thatched Cottage, Kingsgate. Identified as adits, or horizontal mining holes, and probably the result of chalk extraction. A local identification as smugglers tunnels is unlikely. The features were also thought to have been used at some time as ammunition stores for World War I coastal batteries located in close proximity.
