From Exploring Kent's Past:

"The monument includes a bowl barrow of Bronze Age date which comprises an earthern mound and an encircling ditch. The mound measures 21m in diameter and stands to an impressive 2.8m above the general ground level. The surrounding ditch has been completely infilled by erosion from the mound and is no longer visible on the surface. It would have been dug originally to provide the earth for the construction of the mound. The mound and the ditch together have a diameter of 25m.

The summit of the mound is marked by a shallow depression which corroborates the records of a small-scale parital excavation by a Captian North in the later 19th Century, during which investigation pieces of Bronze Age pottery and other unidentified bones and flint flakes were found. On the southern side of the mound is a second small infilled excavation trench which dates from the Second World War."

The tumulus is located behind the houses on Boyke Lane, west from Ottinge. Most of the stones are removed and the tumulus suffered a damage from it's southern part, but still it's worth visiting if you're in the nearby.

From Mr L.L. Duncan's field notebook 1891.

17. The (sic) is a fair Tumulus, in a Field, calld the Broomfield - belonging to a Farm call’d Bowick - in this Parish – and between ye Town and Rood’s Minnis – the present Tenant’s Name is Wm. ELGAR – 1772 – I think David PAPILLON Esq. – is ye Land Lord.

18. There is Another Tumulus, between ye former, and Ottinge – on the Left Hand going from Rood’s Minnis to Ottinge – it stands on the Land of one John FAGG.

19. There was another somewhere at Ottinge, which was, about 10 Years ago, dug down, and the Earth carried away – by Henry, Richard, and John ROLFE – the present joynt Owners of Ottinge – they are supposed to have found Money, and Things of Value, in it.

20. There is, also, Another Tumulus, on the L. Hand of the High Road, going from Ottinge to Lyminge – it is in a Field used by One NICHOLLS, a Butcher, at Elham.
