Monument record TR 36 NW 255 - Enclosure cropmark, Kent International Business Park, Acol
Summary
A large enclosure cropmark was recorded during archaeological investigations in advance of development at Kent International Business Park. This cropmark is thought to represent the remains of building foundations, and survives with almost square sides, c.100m by 100m in length. It was suggested at the time that this is the site of a defended medieval manor or a Romano-British building such as a villa. There is no further evidence to support either of these suggestions.
