Causewayed Enclosure in Kent
From Pastscape site:
Cropmarks of a curved length of interrupted ditch forming part of a Neolithic causewayed enclosure. The cropmarks were transcribed and analysed by RCHME in 1996 as part of the Industry and Enclosure in the Neolithic Project. The site lies immediately north of Chalk Hill and north west of the Chilton Farm buildings. It is situated on a gentle south-south-east facing slope. 450 metres to the south are the vertical chalk cliffs, circa 15 metres high. Excavations in 1997-8 confirmed identification of the cropmarks as representing a causewayed enclosure, and also revealed the presence of at least two additional ditch circuits not visible as cropmarks. The outer ditch measures circa 150 metres in diameter, and is considerably wider and deeper than the inner pair, which were described as "fairly insubstantial". All three produced artefactual evidence confirming an Early Neolithic date.
