Round Barrows in Kent
"Of a group of about 30 barrows situated on the cliff 0.5 miles from the village of St. Margaret's at Cliffe, Douglas opened about 14 in 1782. The only relic was an iron knife, the graves were generally east-west. In 1775, 6 or 8 had been opened "and yielded upwards of twenty glass beads, and a socketed arrow-head, presumably of iron, butsuggesting a prototype of the Bronze period. Indeed, one large barrowcontained the bones of a young subject and must be referred to the earlier period, this being the primary interment. The other graves "probably belonged to the Christian period, but whether that period began during the Roman occupation or only in the 7th century remains at present uncertain".
Barrows were seen during fieldwork in this area. It is possible that the round barrow at Bay Hill is the last surviving one of the group."
