Abstract:		 A desk-based archaeological assessment of land at Manston Business Park, Thanet, Kent (centred NGR TR 31705 66560) was commissioned by Clague LLP on behalf of Cohline (UK) Ltd in February 2010, in view of proposed development of the site. The proposed development area is encircled by sites of archaeological evaluations and excavations that have located significant archaeological remains, and among a host of well known cropmarks and landscape features relating to human activity in the immediate vicinity dating from the prehistoric period until the Second World War and beyond. The results of this desk-based assessment suggest that buried prehistoric (particularly Bronze Age and/or late Iron Age) and medieval remains are perhaps most likely to be encountered within the area of proposed development, along with above ground remnants of the more recent use of the site for aircraft dispersal. The aerodrome features should be fully recorded if they are not to be preserved within the new development. A more detailed assessment (including digital mapping) of aerodrome related features, followed by archaeological evaluation trenching, is therefore recommended.
