Monument record TR 36 NE 4 - Late Iron Age-Roman settlement site, Lanthorne Road, Broadstairs and St. Peters

Summary

An extensive settlement site dating from Neolithic to Roman times was excavated between 1905 and 1971. A rectangular pit was uncovered during drainage work in 1907 at Lanthorne Road, Broadstairs. An iron spearhead, a black ware bowl, a large quantity of domestic animal bone, whetstones, and late 1st century BC/early 1st century AD pottery was found. The area was re-excavated by the Stone House Archaeology Group in 1971. A further number of domestic pits were found in the playing fields of Stone House School, at the hospital and in the surrounding area on Lanthorne Road. The artefact assemblage indicated further a settlement in the late Iron Age (Belgic) - early Roman period. Artefacts from the Neolithic period to the Roman period were also found (see TR 36 NE 67,71,71,73).
