Monument record TR 37 SW 15 - Bronze Age/early Iron Age ditched enclosure and associated finds, Margate
Summary
A Bronze Age ditched ditched enclosure was found on the foreshore at St. Mildred's Bay. Finds from the site included a bronze palstave hoard in a bark container and Deverel Rimbury type pottery sherds. The pastave hoard was dated by type to c.1300-1200 BC. The overall pottery scatter dated to c600 BC. At least one late Neolithic/Bronze Age flint scraper has also been found (see TR 37 SW 1000). A further feature at the site was found to contain Belgic/Romano-British pottery (see TR 37 SW 1018). The site is being monitored as it is in the process of destruction by natural and human agency.
