Summary

During the East Kent Access Route excavations (2009-2011) a group of middle iron age features were discovered north of the trapezoidal enclosure. The features included rubbish and quarry pits, one of which contained a complete horse burial. This group of features seems to have remained in use for several centuries with most pottery dating to the middle iron age but some to the late iron age / early Roman period.
