A ring ditch was discovered on Plateau 2 of the Thanet Earth investigations, probably representing a burial mound. It has been allocated to the mid-late Bronze age mainly due to its form and nature, although dating evidence for it was scarce. It was the easternmost of two located in this area and was relatively large, just over 23m in diameter but with a relatively insubstantial ditch less than a metre wide and up to c. 0.45m deep. The fill contained worked flint but no pottery or other significant inclusions. The flint was primarily knapping waste (flakes and cores), mostly recovered from the north-western quadrant of the barrow, and for the northernmost assemblage, perhaps representing the same knapping episode. A shallow un-urned cremation (S2855) about 2m south-west of the centre is likely to have been associated. Given inhumation is more common within early Bronze Age barrows perhaps it is most likely the barrow was of middle Bronze Age date, but the evidence is inconclusive. The extent of the original mound within the ring-ditch can perhaps be deduced from the disposition of medieval features that intruded into its interior, and which suggest that the mound was not much more than a third to a half of the external diameters of the ring-ditch.

Two sections of curvilinear ditch were also recorded and interpreted as another possible ring ditch/barrow site. This was located cutting across the pipeline trench approximately 290m from its northern terminus. Subsequent widening of the stripped area suggetsted that these fromed part of a small round barrow that had been heavily truncated by ploughing. The total external diameter of this feature appears to have been approximately 16m (1) (information summarised from source)
