Features probably shown on RCHME AP's - rectilinear enclosure with pit features and possible hollow way. Site 0579 of TSMR also. Ring ditch also located at corner of enclosure. (1-2)

A group of rectillinear cropmarks about 50m across was observed from the ground in 1990. Not part of WWII Manston Aerodrome system. Could be a large Romano-British building within boundary ditches. (3)

Area 5 of the A253 Dualling centred on approx. TR 3010 6572. The site of a Romano-British settlement associated with an E-W hollow way route, dating to the L1st-2nd AD. Features consisted of the usual enclosure ditches, storage and rubbish pits and post hole structures and 22 sunken-floored or cellared structures, representing an unusual building type for this period. It is likely that some of these buildings were used as dwelling houses, but generally their function is still open to question. On the W. fringes of the settlement a more usual type of RB building was located, the structure has been interpreted as a shrine. Probably a continuation of the site at TR 36 NW 239 (1)

Geophysical survey undertaken in 1992 (5).

The cropmark remains of the Romano-British settlement complex identified by the previous authorities can be seen on aerial photographs: NMR 1671/45 06-AUG-1979, NMR 3115/180 02-JUL-1986, Next Perspectives APGB Imagery 21-APR-2007 and 05-MAY-2018 and have been mapped as part of the Historic England Thanet Landscape Mapping Project 2024. The site comprises a number of conjoined rectilinear ditched enclosures attached to and incorporating a trackway which extends along the southern side of the site, continuing to the west for some distance (TR 26 NE 108). Within the complex are the cropmark traces of pits, ditches and a number of pits/hollows identified above as sunken-floored or cellared structures. Some of these features are also described in TR 36 NW 456. A number of ring ditches, probably the remains of Bronze Age round barrows are visble amongst the remains of the site. These are recorded separately in TR 36 NW 456 and its sub-records. (6-9)
