Round Barrow in Kent. A round barrow situated just north of Appledore village. This barrow sits on the top of a hill on the edge of the saxon shoreline. It would have been prominently visible from the sea to anyone entering the area that is now Romney Marsh.
The barrow is in reasonably good nick, but it does have several trees growing out of it with rope swings attached, and well worn trackways over its surface are testament to its use by local kids as a playground. There is also a small bench on the top.
The barrow is still very prominent in the landscape however, and has a circular depression on the top. Whether this is a collapsed central chamber, or something more prosaic, like the site of an uprooted tree, or a collapsed badger set is unknown.
