Monument record TR 26 NE 124 - Cropmarks of enclosures and pits, near Brooks End

Summary

The cropmarks of a number of enclosures and pits are recorded as existing at College Farm on the Isle of Thanet Sites and Monuments archive. These features appear to represent a large complex site, comprised of ditched enclosures and possibly with superimposed pits and graves. This may be evidence of a multi period settlement, however no record of any such cropmarks at this site counld be found in the county council database. This site is probably a duplicated of TR 26 NE 52/MKE6382.
