Full Description

['A', TR 29036794] Crop mark of ring ditch. ['B' TR 28886787] Crop mark of sub-circular enclosure.(1) The markings are situated on the gentle NE facing slope of a downland ridge. Ring ditch 'A' in a freshly ploughed field, is visible as a chalky circle, 13.0m in diameter, with a concentration of large flints over it, Survey at 1/2500. There are no surface traces of 'B'(2) TR 28836788. Large, almost circular enclosure, with entrance on the south east. Also a ring ditch. General scatter of pits and fragmentary rectilinear features.(3) TR 288679. Cropmarks and soilmarks show a large infilled (banjo?) enclosure. Cropmarks can also be seen from ground level. Aerial reconnaissance suggests that it might be one of several neighbouring and similar sites.(4) Photographs (5-23)

The cropmark remains of the complex of fragmented rectilinear enclosures, ditches, ring ditches and pits seen in a single large field to the west of Brooksend Farm, described above have been mapped from Next Perspectives APGB Imagery 14-APR-2015 aerial photogrpahs as part of the Historic England Isle of Thanet Landscape mapping project in 2024. Because of the complex multi-phase nature of these features they have now been described separately as child records to this record (24).
