Monument record MWX43483 - Earthworks west of Great Downs Bridge, near Sandwich

Summary

Two probable enclosures a two circular mounds are visible as earthworks on 1940s RAF vertical aerial photographs. These features are thought to be agricultural in origin and are likely to be of medieval or post-medieval date, at least one of the mounds is likely to be a hay stack stance. The features appear to have been plough-levelled as no earthworks are visible at this location on recent aerial photography.
