Round Barrow(s) in Kent
From Exploring Kent's Past:
"The site of a possible Bronze Age barrow at Walmer, nearDeal was discovered by chance in June 1984. A human skeleton was disturbed by a mechanical excavator grading chalk whilst widening the drive and parking area to the west of 73 Liverpool Road. The site lies 2.25kms south east of Deal parish church and 340m west of Walmer Castle near the top of a fairly prominent low hill at an elevation of about 10m O.D. The west side of the site had been removed by chalk quarrying. Although excavation was not possible Kent Archaeological Rescue Unit were able to record the site. The grave and original chalk surface were sealed by a rounded mound, still surviving at its centre to a height of 1.0 metre above the natural chalk. It tapered away to the inner lip of a ditch which surrounded the mound to the north and tapered away to the south where it was cut by the quarry . If the grave was centrally placed and the ditch circular, then this would suggest the mound had an overall diameter of 10.40m. The ditch appeared to be 'V' shaped in prifile. 1.80m wide and at least 40m deep. A total outer diameter of 14.00m for the barrow is suggested. Although only 30m of the burial's length survived enough human bone was recovered to suggest an adult male of 25 years or more of age. Nograve goods were found. If the site is that of a Round Barrow then itis likely that it dates from the Early Bronze Age c.1800-1400 BC."
