A rectilinear enclosure visible as a cropmark in aerial photos of 1990, to the east of Sarre. Measures roughly 40m square. Difficult to tell whether this is one enclosure which is divided in two by the edge of an earlier/later larger enclosure, or whether it is two enclosures that reuse part of an earlier field boundary. (See 'Cropmarks' layer). (1)

From the National Heritage List for England:

The earlier Iron Age settlement, which partly underlies the Anglo-Saxon cemetery and the later medieval features, is represented by below ground traces of pits and enclosure ditches revealed during the 20th century investigations. A complex group of roughly rectangular enclosure ditches visible as crop marks on aerial photographs in the north eastern part of the monument may also date to this period. The settlement, which extends beyond the monument along the ridge to the east, has been dated by the analysis of pottery sherds found in the pit fills to the Late Iron Age (around 300-150 BC). (2)

Two enclosures with trackways forming part of a settlement of probable Iron Age date were visible as cropmarks on Kent HER r12photo960 XX-XXX-1990 (also available as EARTH.GOOGLE.COM XX-XXX-1990). Two sides of a probably rectilinear enclosure are centred on TR 2606 6517. A more complex but fragmentary group of cropmarks immediately to the north of Perkins Chalk Pit may represent the remains of a large rectilinear enclosure measuring about 101m from north to south, with internal subdivisions. The chalk pit is likely to have destroyed much of this feature. Its eastern side may be marked by a north-south oriented trackway of which about 72.5m is visible. A second trackway oriented east-west may form the edge of, or lead into, the northern part of the enclosure. These features were mapped as part of the Historic England Isle of Thanet project in 2024.
