Monument record TR 36 NW 77 - Linear cropmarks, Acol

Summary

Several linear cropmark features have been identified in fields to the east of Acol. These features were recorded in the Isle of Thanet Sites and Monuments Archive and were reported on either side of the Margate Hill road. Evidence of an Anglo Saxon settlement found in Acol in 1982 may possibly be related to these cropmarks (see TR 36 NW 76).
