Full Description

Site of Prospect House Farm, west of Wraik Hill. In 1990 a desk based assessment was done in anticipation of Thanet Way. Prospect House could be seen as a recently demolished building along the prososed route. In 1990 it could still be seen as a ruin but when the Thanet Way was built it was removed along with several still-upstanding buildings on site. An example of one of the upstanding buildings can be seen in a photogrpahy taken during the 1990 assessment. (1-2)

Prospect House Farm can be seen in the early editions of the OS maps. However in the 1st edition (1862-75) it is not marked as Prospect House Farm but as Seasalter Fram though the buildings in later maps appear to be the same.
