Monument record MKE115987 - Ozengell, Lord of the Manor #6

Summary

: This record represents one element of a monument complex that includes Neolithic ceremonial enclosures that were later augmented to form a Bronze Age barrow group. See MKE7631 for the composite record. The info about this complex is confusing, contradictory and unpublished; the account given here is a 'best fit'.Site 6 (TR 36 NE 697/MKE99506) - A barrow pond formed by a shallow saucer-shaped pit cut into the chalk bed rock. It was encircled by a raised bank of chalk spoil and a ring ditch. A cremation burial dated circa 1400 BC contained in a cordoned urn was found in a small pit cut into the bank.NB the pond barrow is described as Neolithic in date; the cremation cut into the bank is described as c. 1400 BC in date. Based on current knowledge/the available info an EBA date is assigned here. Recorded by CgMs as Site 6 but info on Pastscape suggests that Site 6 was unexcavated/scheduled ... The site plan available at http://www.thanetarch.co.uk/Virtual%20Museum/3_Displays/G4%20Displays/Gallery4_Display4_Link2thanet_Link3causewayed.htm#X_Lord_of_the_Manor_V_1981 supports the idea that this is Site 6 (partly removed by the railway cutting)For further info see also:Perkins D. 2004.
