Full Description
The earthworks of three small mounds are located in fields to the east of Minster Sewage Works. There is little information on these monuments and it is not known what they represent. The features were also recorded as cropmarks from aerial photographs taken by the Royal Commission on the Historic Monuments of England as part of a project to classify cropmarks across Kent. A number of similar features have been identifed in this area (see TR 36 SW 63, TR 36 SW 65, TR 36 SW 66).
RCHME AP shows 3 sub-circular cropmarks at TR 3122 6321, TR 3132 6320 and TR 3145 6316. (1)
Seven stack stands of medieval/post-medieval date were visible as earthworks on RAF/106G/UK/1131 RS 4023 17-JAN-1946. The features were recorded as levelled earthworks on Next Perspectives APGB Imagery 07-APR-2021. Although interpreted as stack stands, these small mounds may have been constructed as livestock refuges. The features were mapped as part of the Historic England Isle of Thanet project in 2024. (2-3)
