Monument record TR 36 SW 471 - Early Bronze Age Barrow 4 - Cliffsend Farm, Ramsgate, Thanet
Summary
Excavations ahead of the development of a site at Cliffsend Farm, Ramsgate, revealed a wide variety of interesting features and finds. The features included a group of Early Bronze Age barrows. Barrow four appeared to comprise three ring ditches though it is unlikley that the outer was continuous, surrounding a central rectangular pit which may have been a grave (but no human remains remained).
