From Exploring Kent's Past:
"A group of three probable bowl barrows, mutilated by a track and burrowing rodents, lie in a Forestry Commission plantation. Their close proximity seems to suggest a single bank, but the northernmost mound is centred west of a common axis. The surrounding area is littered with what appear to be medieval iron-digging pits."
