Abstract/Summary

This report presents results of the strategic condition field survey of the Baker's Hole listed Palaeolithic ancient monument and Quaternary Site of special Scientific Interest.Work was carried out in two parts of the site, Areas B and F. The survey has established that important deposits are exposed and very vulnerable to rapid further deterioration in Area B, and urgent remedial action is required to halt the ongoing deterioration. It is recommended that the currently-exposed old archaeological trenches in Area B are backfilled as soon as possible with Thanet Sand.
