Full Description

In 2008 Swale and Thames Archaeological Survey Company carried out a programme of works at Neats Court, Queenborough. A ring ditch dating to the Early Bronze Age was located in Area D. It did not contain any features or traces of any mound. Collard Urn sherds from the ditch suggest a possible funerary function for the feature. A pit of the same date was also found in the area.
