A group of probable medieval settlement enclosures visible as cropmarks on aerial photographs. These enclosures are positioned in in two converging linear arrangements suggesting they were located along two tracks or roadways - traces of which cannot be seen. One line of enclosures extends NE-SW for over 700m From east of The Nook, Blackthorn Farm to Woodchurch Track. A Second line of enclosures extends NW-SE from east of Retreat Farm, Woodchurch to TR3366 6760 where it meets the first line of enclosures at an invisible junction. These settlement enclosures have been mapped from a number of aerial photographs as part of the Historic England Thanet Landscape Mapping Project 2024.
