Abstract: |
Headland Archaeology (UK) Ltd undertook a geophysical (magnetometer) survey, covering 17 hectares, on land west of Tothill Street, Minster in Thanet, to inform future archaeological strategy in advance of a proposed residential development. The proposed development is located on a prominent chalk escarpment upon which multi-period remains (prehistoric - Saxon) have been revealed from extensive cropmarks and subsequently confirmed by extensive archaeological investigations. The survey has confirmed and enhanced the cropmark data by identifying, and accurately locating, five ring-ditches (probable round-barrows), a trackway, an area of possible roadside settlement activity and five enclosures. Based on the results and interpretation of the geophysical survey the archaeological potential in the north of the site is assessed as moderate to high, and locally very high in the vicinity of the identified anomalies. Fewer anomalies of archaeological potential have been identified on the lower-lying slope in the south and here, the archaeological potential is generally assessed as moderate, but locally high. |
