Monument record TR 36 NW 393 - Iron Age features, near Cleve Court, Manston

Summary

Features of Iron Age date were recorded during an archaeological evaluation in 1994 prior to construction of the Kent International Business Park at Manston. A small bowl-shaped pit containing sherds of Iron Age pottery and an unidentified metal object was discovered. The other feature was a ditch 0.8 - 1.5m in diameter which ran on a north south alignment for c. 25 metres. Amongst the finds removed from the fill of this ditch were c.200 Iron Age pottery sherds, including a patera-like vessel with a "whey-strainer", dating to around 100 BC, as well as animal bones and burnt flint. It is suspected that these features may be part of an Iron Age settlement found just to the north in 1996 (see TR 36 NW 359).
