A pair of bowl barrows situated near the top of a clay hill which overlooks the north Kent coast.
From Exploring Kent's Past:
"The monument includes a pair of bowl barrows aligned ENE-WSW, and situated near the top of a clay hill which overlooks the north Kent coast. The north easterly barrow has a circular mound 16m in diameter and survives to a height of around 1m. It has a pronounced central hollow indicating partial excavation at some time in the past. Surrounding the mound is a ditch from which material used to construct the barrow was excavated. This has become partially infilled over the years, but survives as a depression up to 0.4m deep and c.4m wide. Around 28m to the south west is a further barrow which has a subcircular mound measuring 17.5m in diameter and 0.3m high. This is surrounded by an infilled ditch which survives as a buried feature c.4m wide."
