Monument record TQ 76 NW 31 - Possible camp/enclosure, identified from cropmarks, Rochester/Wouldham boundary

Summary

An unknown enclosure was identified on an aerial photograph taken in 1928. An aerial photograph from just a few months later did not show this enclosure/camp. There is nothing to be seen at ground level but it is possible that farm buildings, such as cowsheds and pigsties, once existed in this area.
