TR 22 36 Giant's Grave, Black Bull Road (centred TR 227 367, OS 1:10,000, 1975), Folkestone. The site of a possible barrow was discovered through documentary research by C.P.Davies of Folkestone Library. A Register of Pupils attending Mill Day Sunday School, Folkestone in 1835, gave addresses of four of the pupils as "Giant's Graves". A further reference to Giant's Grave was in the Tithe Map of 1842 and accompanying tithe charges, which mentioned a Thomas Bennett who owned pasture land called Giant's Grave, on the W side of the BlacBull Road between Fooso and Canterbury Road. It is suggested that thefield was named in antiquity, and the name of a prominent feature, such as a barrow, was preserved. W.H. Elgar, the local historian of Folkestone also mentioned in an article he wrote on 7th November, 1925"another old map at the Manor Office shows Giant's Grave at the bend of the road opposite the Imperial Hotel in what is now Black Bull Road, Folkestone. The Peden Memorial stands on the site". The memoriais no longer there, but Mr Davies, from the Folkestone Library remembers that it formerly stood on the E side of Black Bull Road opposite the land he had already deduced was called Giant's Grave. A visit to the site showed that it had been completely built over many years ago and there is now no trace of a barrow. (1)
