Full Description

c. TR 348686. Cropmarks of Bronze Age barrows. Site no. 89. (1) In this valley a crop mark of a ring ditch was observed while field walking on three occasions. (2) AP shows ring ditch at TR 3477 6855. (3)

The incomplete cropmark remains of a sub-circular ditched enclosure visible on aerial photographs :NMR 2602/0211 24-APR-1985 and mapped as part of the Historic England Thanet Landscape Mapping Project 2024.. The enclosure measures c.21m x at least 24m. The eastern side is curved, but the western and fragment of the northern sides are straight, perhaps suggesting this is not a round barrow. Two small pits cut into the SE side and a larger pit, probably a post medieval extractive pit, is located to the east. A short fragment of ditch is visible 57m to the south (4)
