Between 20 August and 30 August 2012, Canterbury Archaeological Trust carried out a Strip, Map and Sample excavation on the site of Plateau 1 at Thanet Earth, in relation to a proposed extension to Plot 1. The work was carried out within areas not previously cleared as part of the major archaeological project undertaken in 2007/8. Of the three relatively small areas concerned only Area C on the eastern edge of the plateau revealed any archaeological features. Most of these were of late Iron age/Roman date, and included a metalled trackway and associated ditches located previously. However, additional finds and ditches have clarified the dating of these features and suggest the trackway was bordered by a late Iron Age/Roman field system. One significant find was an inhumation burial of similar date, buried close to the trackway in the corner of the adjacent field.
