Monument record TR 36 NW 232 - Prehistoric enclosures at Hartsdown, Margate
Summary
Several enclosures with internal features were found during an archaeological evaluation. The first was a rectangular enclosure, cut by a wide causeway entrance. Its internal features consisted of post holes, ditches and pits which contained late Bronze Age/early Iron Age pottery and midden material. The second was a small rectangular enclosure with a large storage pit containing a similar assemblage. The third was a rectangular enclosure with at least two storage pits, which yielded late Iron Age/Belgic sherds. The final enclosure was sub-rectangular: within this was found a post hole and prehistoric pottery. There was a ditch running through although it was not thought to be associated.
