Brian_Eyes visited on 1st Feb 2017 - their rating: Cond: 3 Amb: 4 Access: 3 On private land, I rang the bell at the gate and the owners were pretty friendly and let me walk around the mound. Unfortunately my phone had packed up that day so no photos. Very complete and impressive mound, the owners said it has been dated to Bronze Age by archaeologists.
Large isolated round barrow, one of very few [surviving] in the immediate vicinity, hidden behind a thick hedge in the garden of Mount Mead. Very well preserved, considering the local sand-quarrying, standing about 3m high overlooking the M20/M26 junction at Wrotham Heath. Unfortunately nobody home today, and no decent photographs owing to the thick hedge, but a return visit a definite.
