PurpleEmperor visited on 8th Jun 2013 - their rating: Cond: 3 Amb: 4 Access: 4 Easy to find, across the road from the car park and just a few metres from the North Downs Way. Excellent views across the surrounding countryside. Friendly cows were keeping guard when I visited!

Round Barrow in Kent

"The monument, a bowl barrow located on the crest of the Downs with extensive views to the south and west, includes an earthen mound encircled by a now-infilled quarry ditch. The profile or the mound suggests that it has been spread slightly by agricultural activity, but the barrow mound nevertheless survives to a height of 1.6m above the surrounding land and measures 21m in diameter. The surrounding ditch has been infilled by the soil eroded and spread from the mound so that it is no longer visible. The diameter of the mound and ditch together is 26m."
