Full Description
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).
The features included a late iron age ditch, late iron age/early Roman ditches, pits and a possible holloway, a late iron age/early Roman cremation cemetery, a roman ditch (as well as 20 undated but possibly Roman to Medieval ditches and pits), a dual rite Romano-British inhumation cemetery with one possible cremation, an oven and an isolated Roman grave.
A vast amount of ecological data was reocovered. The sheer quantity makes it impossible to record accurately.
