An Iron Age settlement was discovered across Zone 6 of the East Kent Access route excavations in Thanet (2009-2011). The settlement was long lived, it originated in the 6th- 4th centuries BC and was occupied, with a possible hiatus in around the 4th century, until the 1st century BC and beyond. It comprised a series of enclosures, round houses, fence lines, post built structures, pits, ditches, trackways and wells located largely in the central and northern part of Zone 6 with a few features extending into Zone 7. It is associated with a field system and a series of trackways and it has been suggested that stock keeping was an important part of this settlement.
