Monument record TR 36 NE 13 - Bronze Age barrows and associated prehistoric inhumations, Bradstow School, Broadstairs

Summary

Excavations in 1911 recorded the remains of a ploughed out barrow. Associated with this were nine crouched prehistoric inhumations and nine Anglo-Saxon inhumations (see TR 36 NE 12). Further work in 1970-74, suggested there were in fact three Bronze Age barrows, including one with double concentric ditches and 11 prehistoric burials in total. A fourth barrow to the west was found in 2009. In 2015 part of the two concentric ring ditches of the multi-phase Bronze Age round barrow were exposed and sampled.
