Brian_Eyes visited on 5th Nov 2016 - their rating: Cond: 3 Amb: 4 Access: 4 Access from cliff edge footpath. Big crater in the top of the barrow and a ditch running right through barrow from one side to the other. Hidden from Old and New Dover Roads by thick brambles. Beautiful location on cliff edge overlooking the English Channel.
From Exploring Kent's Past: "On the S side of the Dover road at Capel-le-Ferne, on the edge of the cliffs , there is a large bowl barrow measuring some 22.0m in diameter and 2.3m in height. It has been mutilated on the N side by a pond and a large excavation trench has been cut through the centre from NE-SW. There is no trace of a ditch. In 1952 a secondary cremation in an inverted MBA biconical urn with lugs (Abercromby Type 3, Group 2) was found near the top of the mound. The urn is in Deal Castle Museum. A cremation deposit at the east end of the southern part of the barrow was exposed by weathering in 1967." Exploring Kent's Past.
