Monument record TQ 77 NW 1070 - Unidentified mound, Roman Kiln?, Cliffe Marshes

Summary

A mound of indeterminant function. Identified from aerial photographs and during field surveys. The discovery of a Roman cremation group in this vicinity and a number of discoveries of Roman pottery sherds may suggest this was the site of a Roman Kiln. However, studies on the occurrence of mounds and the rates of sediment build up since the Roman period in the marshes within the Hoo Peninsula indicate that the Roman finds and structures here would be up to a metre below the current ground surface. These mounds appear to lie above the post medieval ridge and furrow thought to be part of the land improvement undertaken here.This was mapped from 1953 RAF aerial photographs as part of the English Heritage: Hoo Peninsula Landscape Project
