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."

Not much to see here really and would be difficult to find without GPS. Nice scampering about in the cool, murky, atmospheric woods though!
