Monument record TR 05 SW 5 - 'The Mount' - uncertain earthwork feature, Conduit Wood, Chilham
Summary
A large barrow type feature known as the mount is located in Conduit Wood to the north of Shottenden. The monument measures 13m by 16m and remains to a height of c.2.2m. Evidence of a ditch and possible also a ramp have been reported at the site. The mound itself appears to be composed of very pebbly soil. Previously thought to be a barrow this identification is now uncertain. Seen as not large enough to be a windmill mound this may be an ornamental feature.
