Summary
Features from an early Iron Age farmstead which may have had origins in the late Bronze Age. Elements of this farmstead were recorded during evaluation and excavation work on the site of Sheppey Community Hospital. The features were interpreted as the outlying field systems. The centre of the site is thought to be further downslope, possibly to the south east.
