[TR 07595305] Earthwork (NAT) (1) This feature has been ploughed-out and is seen as a circular raised strip of chalk and flints. (2) The circular earthwork, half a mile south east of Chilham, close to Julliberrie's grave (TQ 05 SE 5) was excavated in 1938. This "exposed a ditch with practically no silting, and a bank, composed of material thrown up from the ditch, that was obviously of no great age". H and W Arnold of Stone Stile Farm remembered that their father had spoken of the ring as a disused colt-breaking track. There is documentary evidence that it was made by Thomas Heron who owned Chilham Castle between 1774 and 1791. It was used by the OS as a trigstation in 1789. (3,4)
