Full Description

In 2010 the Trust for Thanet Archaeology carried out an evaluation. A gully and a pit were found, both of Early Iron Age date. The features were filled with marine shells - oyster, limpet, mussel and clam. Two sherds of flint-tempered pottery, probably dating to 800 to 600 BC. The two features could relate to a structure and the broken shells to domestic activity. The site could therefore have been occupied in the Early Iron Age. (1)
