"Two barrows, 80 yds. apart on a ridge in Ringwould parish about a mile from the sea, were excavated by Woodruff in 1872. The westernmost was found to contain a cremation without an urn, and four under inverted urns. Nothing was found in the other except one pottery fragment. The relics, including a bead dateable to c.14th c. B.C., are in Maidstone Museum. These were both probably bowl-barrows and are situated on a downland ridge at a height of 230 ft. OD. Barrow 'A' measures about 15.0m in diameter and 1.4m in maximum height. There is no visible ditch. Barrow 'B' has apparently has been partly destroyed on the north west side and now measures about 10.0 - 16.0m transversely and 1.2m in maximum height. There is no visible ditch. Both barrows are under grass and in fair condition; each has a War Department 'star' on the top. A selection of the finds is on display in Maidstone Museum."
