A Wessex Archaeology programme of archaeological mitigation works took place at The County Ground, Folkestone ahead of the construction of a new sports centre and pavillion at the Cricket Ground. (1)

It uncovered a large number of features including a series of Late Bronze Age-Early Iron Age ditches including one possible enclosure ditch. (1)

This is interpreted as an enclousre system. (1) (2)

The report summarises findings as follows:
"The Late Bronze Age/Early Iron Age elements appear typical of a relatively low
status enclosure system extending into the watching brief area to the east. The lack
of internal features within this enclosure may be indicate it was largely used for
livestock husbandry and pastoralism rather than associated directly with settlement.
However, internal features may have been destroyed by modern landscaping. The
presence of a single un-urned cremation identified immediately east of the main
excavation area, may be indicative of settlement activity close by. The later parallel
ditches in the far north-eastern part of the Site may indicate a change of usage.
The Middle to Late Iron Age features in the southern part of the Site are indicative of
an enclosure system, albeit one that has required periodic re-establishment through
re-cutting of ditches on identical alignments. Once again the lack of exposed internal
features, suggest an association with agricultural activity, rather than focussed
settlement."
