Monument record TQ 96 NW 17 - Possible Bronze AgeBowl barrow; Elmely Island
Summary
Possible Bronze Age Bowl Barrow 30m N of Elmley Church, Elmley Island, Isle of Sheppey. A mound was identified in 1963 by an Ordnance Survey fieldworker, described as being a ditchless mound 13m in diameter and 0.6m high, located just below the highest part of Elmley Island and to the west of Kings Hill Farm.The mound is first mapped as an oval mound on the 1908 1:2500 Ordnance Survey map. Aerial photographic evidence demonstrates that it was visible in May 1946 with another apparent circular mound to the south-west. There is no trace of the latter on aerial photography of 1951 and the former appears reduced to a cropmark or possible low mound. From 1963 onwards there is no trace of the possible barrow.
