Full Description

The earthwork of a small mound is located to the north east of Minster Sewage Works. There is little information on this monument and it is not known what it represents. The mound was also recorded as a cropmark 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 64, TR 36 SW 66).

A stack stand of medieval/post-medieval date was visible as an earthwork on RAF/106G/UK/1131 RS 4023 17-JAN-1946. The feature was recorded as a levelled earthwork on Next Perspectives APGB Imagery 07-APR-2021. Although interpreted as a stack stand, the small mound may have been constructed as a livestock refuge. This feature was mapped as part of the Historic England Isle of Thanet project in 2024. (2-3)
