Monument record TR 26 NE 139 - Bronze finds and upright timbers, possible Bronze Age settlement, St. Nicholas at Wade parish
Summary
A number of bronze artefacts including spearheads have been discovered by metal detectorists on the foreshore near Plumpudding Island on the north Thanet coast. The remains of timbers have also been seen sticking out of the mussel beds at this location. As these mounds were formed by the remains of Thanet Beds geological layers, it is thought these timbers may represent remains of a prehistoric settlement. Some of the timbers are also thought to be 'modern' breakwaters.
