From a Historic England scheduling report (the decision was taken not to schedule the monument)

"Barrows, the most numerous of the various prehistoric funerary monuments, date from the Middle
Neolithic to the Middle Bronze Age. Bowl barrows begin to appear from before 3000 BC but the majority belong to the period 2400-1500 BC. They were constructed as earthen or rubble mounds, sometimes ditched, which covered single or multiple burials, and exhibit regional variations in form and a diversity of burial practices. They occur either in isolation or grouped as cemeteries, and often acted as a focus for burials in later periods. The majority of the round barrows from this period are bowl barrows. Bell, disc and pond barrows are considerably rarer.

The probable remains of a barrow approximately 440m south-west of Westenhanger Castle. This feature is adjacent to the remains of another probable barrow, and within a wider funerary landscape, being in the vicinity of the earthwork and buried remains of several other barrows mostly to the west of this site. It located within an arable field bounded to the south by the East Stour River. The buried feature was first identified during a geophysical survey of the area in 2020 as a curvilinear anomaly. Subsequent trial trenching was undertaken, and three segments of a ditch were excavated. The feature has been interpreted as the probable remains of a buried barrow ditch dating to the Bronze Age. In recent archaeological investigations this is documented as barrow 284.

Details

PRINCIPAL ELEMENTS: the probable buried remains of a barrow dating to the Bronze Age and part of a
wider funerary landscape.
DESCRIPTION: the buried remains consist of a ring ditch around 20m wide. The excavated segments of
the ditch contained similar fills and relatively similar depths between 1.87 and 3.18m wide and 0.44 and 0.57m deep. Dateable material recovered from the ditch comprised a small quantity of prehistoric pottery and a collection of work flints with a possible Bronze Age date. No evidence of a bank, mound or buried soil layer was evident within the trenches. However, a cluster of four pits were recorded inside the ring ditch; one of these was excavated and found to be a sub-circular shape measuring 0.9m long, 0.92m wide and 0.25m deep, with a concave base and sides. Two further pits were identified next to the outside edge of the ring ditch.
