Summary
Owlers Farm is a deserted C15 or C16 farmstead located by an old routeway running south from the main east west ridge on which the village of Benenden is sited. No above ground evidence for the farm remains. However, a geophysical survey revealed features including the remains of buildings, an industrial area and field systems. Lynchets, quarries, and lost field boundaries were noted during field walking, also in 2016
