Full Description
In 2010 Kent Archaeological Projects carried out a programme of works on a pipeline route. Pits and ditches were found, post-dating the nearby Bronze Age barrow and pre-dating the Late Iron Age/early Roman cremation cemetery. It is thought that they relate to an Iron Age field system created after the Bronze Age barrow's ring ditch had silted but whilst the mound was still visible. (1)
