From Exploring Kent's Past:

"About 1899 Payne excavated at the site of a barrow that had been noticed as a large circular crop mark. The ditch proved to be 12' wide at the top, diminishing to 2' 6" at the bottom: it was 6' deep and enclosed an area 61' in diam. Upon the primary silting, on the SE side, the slight reamins of a human skeleton was found covered over with a layer of flint and associated with burnt flints and a layer of charred wood ash containing animal bones. Altogether the remains of 5 skeletons were found in the ditch, one on the NE side being a contracted burial of a young person: a few sherds of a thick, rudely made, flint gritted pottery, a sarsen grain crusher and a sandstone polisher were also found. The primary interment, uncovered in the encircled area, was a very contracted inhumation lying on its right side. Canon Greenwell ascribes the barrow to the Bronze Age."
