Monument record TR 36 NE 484 - Middle Bronze Age settlement/activity located on site of Tesco, Manston Road, Ramsgate, Kent

Two small shallow pits, 56 and 242, 0.70m in diameter and less than 0.10m deep, have been ascribed to the middle bronze age period. Pit 56 lay towards the southwest corner of the site, and pit 242, a poorly-defined feature, some 130 m to the north-east. Each contained the truncated remains of a vessel assigned to the Deverel-Rimbury tradition of the Middle Bronze Age. Both vessels had been placed upright, and only the bases survived. No finds or human bone was found in association with these vessels which might have suggested that they represented burials..(1)
