Monument record TQ 56 NE 83 - Circular and Rectilinear Enclosure

A circular enclosure and a rectilinear enclosure are visible as cropmarks on air photographs. Located to the north of Farningham Road Station, the circular enclosure appears as an irregular, sub-circular causewayed ring ditch. There is a clear causeway or entrance on the northeast, and other possible causeways are present to the west and northwest. This appears to be the site listed by Harding and Lee in their henge gazetteer and described by them as a segmented ring ditch. A short distance to the north is a rectilinear ditched feature, orientated east-west, and which appears to be broader at the eastern end. Possible interpretations include a Neolithic mortuary enclosure or possibly a long barrow. (1)
