Full Description

TR 349675. Located to the nearest fifty metres. Cropmarks site of an enclosure. Site no. 119. (1)

In 2003 a pipeline was laid between Fleete and Haine Hospital and the works were monitored by Wessex Archaeology. Two shallow intersecting ditches were found and are probably part of this cropmark enclosure. (2)

In 2009 the Trust for Thanet Archaeology carried out an evaluation. Features relating to this enclosure were found, including ditches, pits and a possible post hole. These features contained Roman pottery and ceramic building material. There was some indication of possible industrial activity of this phase and it is likely that a building had stood in the area.
