Full Description

In 2004 the Trust for Thanet Archaeology carried out an evaluation. A ditch was found crossing the site. Its fill contained worked flints of probable Neolithic/Bronze Age date. (1)

A watching brief in 2005 found two further ditches with similar fills. It was suggested, based upon the flints, that there could be a later phase of activity on the site within the Bronze Age, perhaps disturbing earlier material. (2)
