Full Description
Two ploughed out barrows at `A' [TR 19225296] and `B' [TR 19285290] are probably Roman. There is, also, a fairly large barrow circle, possibly Roman, 400 yards S.E. of the six-sided enclosure in Bourne Park [see OS 6" 1898], immediately north of a hammer-shaped tree enclosure and 50 yards from the Roman road [`C' (Area TR 190531) - see TR 15 SE 6.] "Three other possible Roman barrow circles, together with an associated rectangular enclosure and two smaller ploughed out barrow circles could be seen in the fields between Bourne Parke and Charlton Park, east of the road to Bishopsbourne village and a short distance south of the Roman road on which the large barrows seem to be aligned". (1)(2) Bourne Park is largely under plough and the fields to the south are pasture. There is nothing to be seen on the ground in these areas, but an apparent barrow (`B') is visible on air photo 106G/UK/1131/3119. (3)
