Site identified during transcription of features recorded on air photographs. (1) RCHME AP shows sub-circular enclosure, with NE side missing and 3 pit and a macula feature adjacent at TR 3112 6777. TSMR 0558. Parts of 2 rectilinear enclosures at TR 3110 6765 and a small, single-ditched ring ditch at TR 3115 6770. (2)

The cropmark traces of the enclosure complex described above have been seen on aerial photographs (NMR 962/73 09-JUL-1976, CUCAP ALA43 04-JUN-1965 and US/7PH/GB/LOC286V 2012 19-APR-1944) and mapped as part of the Historic England Thanet Landscape Mapping Project 2024. The site appears as a broken linear ditch c. 417m long with one short parallel ditched section (possibly a trackway) aligned NW-SE. Possibl attached to the northern side of the SE end of this ditched feature are two elongated rectilinear enclosures (35m x 75m and 36m x 85m) with internal pits. Their ditches are fragmented with interruptions. A third sub-rectangular enclosure 39m x 46m with traces of internal sub-division and pits is located to the north of these, similar in appearance and possibly part of the same settlement complex.
