The cropmark remains of the large rectilinear enclosure described above were seen on aerial photographs and the site mapped as part of the Historic England Thanet Landscape Mapping Project in 2024 -NMR 4181/16 01-AUG-1988, Next Perspectives APGB Imagery 21-APR-2007 and EARTH.GOOGLE.COM MAR-2022. ACCESSED 21-MAY-2024 . The enclosure is defined by two ditches. The inner enclosure measures c119m x 115m, outer enclosure 131m x 124. There is a third ditch on the western side and the SE corner has a rectilinear enclosure incorporated into it which is cut by the railway line. Internally there are cropmarks of ditches, possibly sub-divisions as well as the remains of Second World War anti-landing obstructions which also appear as a cropmark ditch at times. There are traces of a single ring ditch, possibly a round barrow in the SW corner and two large ring ditches outside the NE corner. A few small pits of uncertain date are located within the rectilinear enclosure. A large oval enclosure is cut by the eastern side of the enclosure. All of these curvilinear enclosures have been recorded separately (27-29).
