Monument record MWX43665 - Two circular cropmarks, Kingsdown
Summary
Two circular cropmarks visible in 1942 and 1978, located in Kingsdown. The N circle was seen in 1978 and the S in 1942. Similar features were visible in both years surrounding these circular features; however they were amorphous in shape and appeared to be geological, rather than archaeological. A field to the N, close to Walmer Castle contained similar features and was recorded on OS historic mapping as having been woodland; thus it is possible that these features represent removed trees. The features were not visible in 2003.
