Abstract:		 In September 2013 Wardell Armstrong Archaeology undertook a geophysical survey of land adjacent to Thorne Farm, Thorne Hill, near Ramsgate in Kent. The survey was undertaken for Lightsource Renewable Energy Limited, to provide information in support of a planning application for a solar development at the site.Geomagnetic surveys covering c.23ha of land was conducted within a pastoral field to the north of Thorne Farm. A series of modern features were detected along the north side of the survey area, including a gas pipeline and drain with associated inspection covers. The remains of medieval ridge and furrow cultivation of likely medieval or post-medieval date was also detected across the whole of the study area. The most significant features detected by the geophysical survey comprised two possible ring ditches or small enclosures of likely prehistoric or Romano-British, one of which falls within the northwest corner of the proposed development area. A number of probable post-medieval features were also detected, a number of which are located within the proposed development area. These include a number of possible chalk pits or ponds, a possible former field boundary and a former trackway or road, which is depicted Thanet Tithe Map of c.1840 connecting Thorne Farm to the south with the Ridgeway to the north. A number of other undated possible soil-filled features have been detected, some of which may relate to the agricultural use of the site.
