Monument record TR 04 NE 29 - Location of probable fake barrow, Wye with Hinxhill
Summary
A burial mound was thought to exist in wye village. A tumulus was supposedly discovered during excavations for building extensions at Wye College. A series of large related stones were removed to the British Museum for examination. They have now been reset in their old positions. The so-called Kempe's Mount is suspected to be the product of an undergraduate `stir' perpetrated in November 1977. Nothing of archaeological interest has been found at this site.
