Monument record TR 36 SW 69 - Multi period site on on Cottington Hill, Minster parish

Summary

Iron Age and Romano-British pottery was found at Cottington in 1977 during a rescue excavation by the Thanet Archaeological Unit. During excavations at the site in 1990 a Beaker burial, Late Bronze Age and Early Iron Age pottery, and the remains of a Roman building were identified. A date for this structure in the late second century was suggested by coin and pottery evidence. It has been suggested that the building may be the remains of a villa.
