Monument record TR 36 NW 400 - An Iron Age site at Hartsdown Technology College, Margate

Summary

A series of archaeological investigations during the redevelopment of Hartsdown Technology College, revealed evidence of two Iron Age field enclosures, probably related to pastoral activities. A crouched inhumation burial in a pit, cut into one of the enclosures, was also recorded along with a second pit that contained evidence of possible ritual deposition. Pottery analysis of sherds from certain key features suggested they could be assigned to the early Iron Age, perhaps the 5th to 4th centuries BC.
