The earthwork of a small mound is located in fields on Minster Marshes. There is little information on this monument and it is not known what it represents. The mound was also recorded as a cropmark from aerial photographs taken by the Royal Commission on the Historic Monuments of England as part of a project to classify cropmarks across Kent. A number of similar features have been identifed in this area (see TR 36 SW 64, TR 36 SW 65, TR 36 SW 66). RCHME AP shows small, sub-circular cropmark at TR 3256 6359. (1)

Spoil heaps of bomb craters of Second World War date were visible as earthworks on US/7PH/GP/LOC286 V 5008 19-APR-1944. The eastern-most of these features may be the mound recorded by authority (1) at TR 3260 6359. The features were recorded as levelled earthworks on Next Perspectives APGB Imagery 07-APR-2021. The four small mounds are oriented in an east-west line. One has a small crater to its north side. They are much smaller than stack stand mounds in the environs. In consequence they are interpreted as the remains after a stick of explosives were dropped on the marshes. (2-3)
