Summary
The earthwork remains of a former (medieval/post medieval) counter wall located on the eastern side of the Isle of Grain and visible as a bank on RAF aerial photographs taken in 1942. It was aligned NW-SE and could be traced for c.345m. Grain Power Station now occupies this location and the bank has been levelled and presumably destroyed.
