Monument record TR 36 NE 676 - Late Iron Age to Roman occupation, pipeline installation between Margate and Broadstairs.
Summary
During excavations relating to the installation of a pipeline between Margate and Broadstairs between 2005 and 2006 a total of 619 features and a vast assemblage of finds were discovered. The majority of features and finds date to the Late Iron Age and Roman Periods and were located in areas 3, 7, 9, 14 and 15. (See Report SKE29263).
Note: The large number of features and finds over a very broad geographical area meant mapping accurately where each monument is along the pipeline and classifying monuments chronologically would have led to an unclear number of records. Thus monument mapped as a single linear feature and separated chronologically. Where apporopriate the excavation area where features were located has been recorded.
