Full Description
TR 338511. A rectangular cropmark 40 metres by 10 metres was discovered in October 1974 by members of the Dover Archaeological Group. This site is about 20 metres south-east of the road between Little Mongeham and Great Mongeham, some 100 metres south-west of the Northbourne crossroads in an unploughed field of corn stubble and grass. At the north-western end; nearest the road, there appeared to be an entrance. The opposite end seemed to bow outwards slightly. Subsequent ploughing of the area revealed a scatter of flints at the southern end of the feature and a trial excavation have produced a circular flint hearth. Brief trial slots across the areas of taller grass failed to produce evidence of buried features. The guard shape suggest the site of a building. It could be that a masonry structure stood here and has been robbed away, leaving the robber trenches as the actual cropmarks. (1)
