During the East Kent Access Route excavations (2009 - 2011) a iron age ditch was discovered running south-west to north-east across a neck of a peninsula of higher ground that was surrounded to east and west by water. This appears to have had a long use and was re cut in the later Iron Age, continuing its use into the Early Roman period. A small collection ofearly to middle Iron Age features were located just to the north of this boundary ditch and appear to represent settlement in the area, possibly a continuation of the Iron Age settlement discovered to the north.
