Monument record TR 36 NW 147 - Barrow/PIT cropmarks, north west of Cheeseman's Farm, Acol

Summary

The cropmarks of three barrows were identified during the transcription of features recorded on aerial photgraphs. Now believed to be negative features such as pits. The photographs were taken by the Royal Commission on the Historic Monuments of England as part of a project to identify and classify cropmarks across Kent. It is uncertain whether these features in fact relate to ring ditch features identified within a nearby cropmark enclosure (see TR 36 NW 30).

Full Description

Site identified during transcription of features recorded on air photographs. (1)

These thee pits were mapped from aerial photographs during the RCHME Kent NMP project. These features were mapped as diffuse hand-drawn stipple indicating a macula feature, confused subsequently for the fine stipple used for embanked features. All three of these features have been identified as negative features - pits, possibly post-medieval extraction - on the aerial photographs used for the first survey and on more recent aerial photographs - Next Perspectives APGB Imagery 21-APR-2007 and mapped as pits for the Historic England Thanet Landscape Mapping Project 2024 (2).
