Round Barrow(s) in Kent
From Exploring Kent's Past:
"A round barrow at Bay Hill, St Margaret's at Cliffe, produced six secondary Anglo-Saxon burials in graves (the age is presumptive only, based on anthropological evidence) when it was levelled during the making of a tennis court in Sir J Forbes-Robertson's garden in 1920.
The barrow has been completely levelled except for the N quadrant which rises to a height of 0.7m, but this may be partially modern build-up, the result of excavation. The house, Eden Roc, is now standing empty, and no further informationwas obtained there. When a neighbouring house was built in 1957, the south-western half of the barrow was levelled off during the laying out of a garden, but no finds were made.
The graves were found two feet below the surface, side by side in two parallel rows with three graves in each, heads west. Near by at a depth of six to seven feet was a skeleton in a sitting position. There were no associated objects. The assignation of the extended burials to the Anglo-Saxon period is based on skull shape and the known Anglo-Saxon predilection for burial in already existing barrows."
