Monument record TR 36 NE 121 - Medieval settlement/industrial Site?, Manston, Thanet
Summary
This site was investigated by trenching in 1980 and revealed two rectangular enclosures with causeway entrances. The smaller of the two (TR 351656) had no internal features within its enclosing ditch but the larger enclosure framed a complex system of pits and what appeared to be sunken floor dwellings. Pottery from the site ranged from the 12th-14th century A.D
