Monument record TR 13 NW 21 - Possible Deserted Medieval Site, Westenhanger
Summary
Listed as a Deserted Medieval Village but it should be noted that virtually no deserted villages can be proved in Kent. Kent is largely a county of isolated manors and farms and very few medieval parishes have nucleated villages within them. Consequently, virtually no groups of earthworks of now deserted nucleated villages are known.
