Full Description
In 2003 the Trust for Thanet Archaeology carried out an evaluation. Evidence of Early Neolithic occupation of the site was found. Ditches were found that potentially related to a curvilinear enclosure. The only finds from these features were worked flints. A pair of parallel gullies were also found and thought to be associated with the same phase of site use. Three pits contained a significant assemblage of Early Neolithic pottery along with worked flints. Taken collectively, these features and deposits suggest the presence of significant Early Neolithic settlement activity on the site. (1)
