Full Description
Sub-circular enclosure with a causeway entrance. Internal features consisted of post holes and the remains of a wall built of large flints. Dating is difficult as whilst a few prehistoric sherds were found, one post hole produced a piece of late medieval glazed sherd and a possible fragment of Roman glass.(1,2)
Cropmarks of part of a possible sub-rectangular enclosure have been seen on aerial photographs :NMR 3115/0086 02-JUL-1986 and mapped as part of the Historic England Thanet Landscape Mapping Project 2024. The remains appear as one small part of an enclosure at least 14m across located at TR 3461 6971 at the northern edge of a field and truncated by the field boundary, and may be associated with the features noted in 1-2 above, but could also be the adjacent site referred to in TR 36 NW 125.(3)
