Round Barrows in Kent
From Exploring Kent's Past:
"On Whinless Down, a narrow winding ridge W of Dover, at a height of about 350ft OD, there are two pairs of conjoined bowl barrows in very mutilated condition. One was excavated in 1939 by Dover College Field Club and a sherd of a Bronze Age storage vessel was found which is now in Canterbury Royal Museum. It is not now known at Dover College which of the barrows was excavated. `A' measures 17.0m E-W by 7.0m transversely and is about 0.6m in height; there is no visible ditch. `B' measures 9.0m E-W by 6.0m transversely and is about 0.6m in height; there is no visible ditch. The N. half of both barrows has been destroyed during the construction of an old boundary bank. `C' is a shapeless mound measuring about 14.0m N-S by 12.0m transversely and 0.3m in height. It is slightly mutilated at the centre and has no visible ditch. `D' at TR 29414167, is also a shapeless mound measuring about 10.0m N-S by 8.0m transversely and 0.3m in height. It has been mutilated by recent trenching and has no visible ditch."
