Abstract:
Given the high level of post-medieval and modern truncation recorded on the site, the discovery of a cluster of prehistoric features was slightly unexpected, especially as much of the area where they were found had previously been occupied by the 1980s foodstore. All of these features appear to date from the Iron Age, although the paucity of diagnostic pottery made closer dating difficult. Despite this, it seems that the area may have been occupied from the early to late Iron Age, possibly continuously. Certainly several features appear to date from the early to middle Iron Age, whilst at least one (gully 1000) may be later. Although the prehistoric features were only found in a small part of the site, they are significant as they represent the earliest known occupation of the area now covered by the historic town of Deal. Elsewhere on the site, the only feature recorded was a post-medieval well. This was observed in the south-west part of the site which had been heavily disturbed by modern services. Historic maps indicate that there were buildings in this area from at least the late 18th century, and the ground had been further disturbed by their subsequent demolition.
