Ancient Village or Settlement in Kent.
More information at Pastscape. From Exploring Kent's Past: "This site was excavated between 1963 and 1967 by the Kent Archaeological Society as part of its programme into the investigation of Iron Age earthworks. All that now remains of the original earthwork is a single western bank and a single eastern bank with traces of a ditch on its eastern side. The former is about 300 yards long and ranges from 8 ft. at the north end to 21 ft. at the south end above the present ground level. The latter extends for about 380 yards and stands 8-9 feet high. Any defences to the south were levelled by the landowner in the early 19th century and, similarly, any defences to the north were entirely destroyed by quarrying. The enclosed area would probably have been about 30 acres. No original gateways remain but there is a suggestion that there might have been one at the south-west corner. The whole earthwork was built in one period only, the second quarter of the 1st century AD., not long before the Roman invasion. This date is supported by the pottery found in 1911." http://extranet7.kent.gov.uk/ExploringKentsPast/SingleResult.aspx?uid=MKE2124
