Abstract/Summary

Chalk Hill lies on the southern coast of what is now the Isle of Thanet in eastern Kent at the south-eastern tip of Britain, about 2km west of the port of Ramsgate. A programme of survey, evaluation and excavation was commissioned by KCC Heritage Conversation Group in advance of the construction of a new road linking the Canterbury Road (A 253) to Ramsgate Harbour by Kent County Council’s Highways Department revealed a rich palimpsest of features spanning several millennia.
