Thanet Reach Business Park Development: Archaeological Implications. Desk based assessment [4].

The cropmarks of two overlapping rectangular enclosures of tow phases of probable later prehistoric settlement. The site is peppered with the cropmark traces of later extractive pits. All these features have beenidentified from aerial photographs: CUCAP BTG84 26-JUN-1975 and mapped as part of the Historic England Thanet Landscape Mapping Project 2024. This site was mapped as part of an earlier survey RCHME Kent NMP project undertaken in the late 1980s. This survey was hand drawn and sketch-mapped. N.B. It is likely that the pits which are scattered across thes site have been misidentified as mounds where the loose stipple for a large macula cropmarks has been mistaken for the compact stipple used for positive features such as banks and mounds.
