A round barrow was visible on aerial photographs and was subsequently excavated at Lord of the Manor near Ozengell. It is one of the Lord of the Manor barrow group.

The site was excavated by the Thanet Archaeological Unit from 1976 to 1982 and also sample trenched during the 1980s.

"The ring-ditched enclosures marked as LOM 1-6 are part of a possibly middle, certainly late neolithic to early Bronze Age ceremonial landscape in use between c. 2800-1700 BC. Of these LOM1, 2D, 3A and 2 smaller ring-ditches were entirely stripped and excavated in 1976 and 1977, LOM 5 [this site] sample trenched during the 1980s and LOM 6 remains unexcavated as a Scheduled Monument."

During the early 1980’s part of the enclosure at LOM 5 (Fig. 2) was excavated. This enclosure was considered to be broadly similar to those recorded at LOM 1, 2d and 3, accordingly the enclosure was interpreted as a Neolithic Henge monument. A burial pit at the centre of the enclosure contained selected and carefully arranged bones of five skeletons which suggest the later addition of late Neolithic/early Bronze Age inhumations. Following the discovery of Anglo-Saxon burials at LOM 5 the edge of the excavation was extended south-east to the railway line and south-west towards Haine
Road. A ring ditch (CgMs 6, Fig. 2), partly removed by the railway cutting, was identified to the south of LOM 5. This feature, interpreted as a Neolithic barrow pond, comprised a shallow saucer-shaped pit cut into the chalk bedrock which was encircled by a raised bank of chalk and a ring ditch.(5)
