Full Description
The earthwork remains of an oval mound measuring c.8m x 9m, probably an example of a 19th century or earlier stock refuge mound. The mound is centred at TQ 7407 7892 and is one of three located within a single low-lying field within the marshlands of the Hoo Peninsula and the margins of the Thames Estuary. This form of mound has been referred to and identified in a contemporary paper on the subject (Spurrell, 1885).These were mapped from Environment Agency lidar imagery as part of the English Heritage: Hoo Peninsula Landscape Project.
