Probable late neolithic - early iron age round barrow, the outer ditch having a causeway entrance and the inner ditch is only half a circle. Evidence suggests that the ditches were nearly full by the iron age when the site was disturbed by a settlement.(1,2)

The cropmark traces of this barrow are visible on aerial photographs: CUCAP BTG83 26-JUN-1975 and NMR 3115/0086 02-JUL-1986, appearing as a penannular ring ditch with a diameter of c.19m with an interruped inner circuit of c. 10m and a central pit. This site has been mapped as part of the Historic England Thanet Landscape Mapping Project 2024. A fragment of curving ditch extends South from the barrow, possibly the remains of a further ring ditch. (3-4)
