Monument record TR 04 NW 17 - Late Bronze Age barrow and Iron Age cremation burials, Warren Farm, Boughton Aluph

Summary

A Late Bronze Age barrow was located in fields on a ridge of the downs to the north of Warren Farm. The barrow is now only visible as a crop-mark measuring 17m in diameter by c.1.5m in width. The barrow site was partially excavated by the Ashford Archaeological Society in 1964. Many pieces and types of Late Bronze Age and Iron Age pottery were found; the majority of the evidence collected dated the barrow to the Late Bronze Age. They also found a number of later cremation burials, including the remains of children, dating up to the 1st century BC. The barrow itself appeared to have been destroyed by late medieval agricultural operations.
