Monument record TR 36 NW 389 - Prehistoric pits, near Cleve Court, Manston
Summary
Two pits were found during an archaeological evaluation in 1994 prior to development at the Kent International Business Park. The two pits contained fragments of prehistoric flint-tempered pottery and the fill of one revealed hundreds of mussel shells. It is thought that the pit containing only 20 sherds of pottery may be the remains of a cremation burial pit that has been damaged by ploughing.
