Monument record TR 36 SE 42 - Probable Bronze Age barrow and possible long barrow, Little Cliffs End, Ramsgate
Summary
Cropmark of possible Bronze Age barrow or Neolithic long barrow indicated by an incomplete large oval enclosure surrounded by a ditch. Inside the enclosing ditch is the ploughed out remains of an inner mound, visible on photographs as a light coloured cropmark. Inside the enclosure, at its south west end is a small ring ditch 12m across with a single central pit. This feature is probably the plough levelled remains of an oval barrow, possibly of Bronze Age date.
