Abstract:		 An archaeological evaluation was undertaken at the former allotments site, Manston Road, Ramsgate, Kent. The work was undertaken between the 4th and 15th June 2007 for The Historic Environmental Consultancy on behalf of Explore Living. Thirty-seven trenches were excavated to a cumulative length of 814 metres. The underlying natural was encountered at varied heights across the site between a maximum of 46.24m OD (Trench 13) and 44.04m OD (Trench 30). Archaeological features were recorded in four trenches: 3, 5, 11 and 13 which comprised of four shallow linear features, a probable pit and several small intercutting features. Only single linear features were recorded in trenches 11 and 1; two linear features were recorded in trench 5. Several features were investigated in trench 3, comprising of a probable pit or terminus of a linear feature, which produced a quantity of pottery dating to the 11th to 12th century and five small intercutting features, three of which also contained pottery dating to a similar period and a stakehole. The rim of a vessel, possibly an amphora was uncovered in trench 5, possibly representing a funerary deposit. This was left in-situ and will be excavated during any further works. The small assemblage of flint collected during the evaluation was mostly undiagnostic and is likely to date to the late prehistoric period, possibly the Bronze Age. Modern features probably associated with the use of the site as allotment gardens were recorded in trenches 24 and 35; the later producing china dating to the second half of the 19th century.
