A sub rectangular earthwork consisting of a ditch between two banks surrounds the hilltop on which stood Shottenden Mill. The enclosure had been surveyed in 1878 and recorded in 1796 when it was considered to be Roman. The windmill had gone by 1925. A telegraph station, sometimes known as Old Wives Lees, part of the Deal line of the Admiralty Shutter Telegraph System circa 1790 was also sited on the hill.
