Monument record TR 25 SW 26 - Mound (poss. belvedere)
Summary
monument includes a bowl barrow situated just below the summit of a chalk rise which forms part of the Kent Downs. The barrow has a roughly circular mound 15m in diameter and surviving to a height of circa 1.2m, surrounded by a ditch from which material used to construct the barrow was excavated. This has become infilled over the years, and survives as a buried feature circa 2m wide. The earthwork was originally interpreted as a belvedere.
