Ring ditch cropmark feature in Birchington. Identified from aerial photographs taken in 1986. No further information. (1-2)
In 2011 the Trust for Thanet Archaeology carried out an evaluation. The ring ditch was found to be c.27m in diameter. No finds were recovered from the lower fills of the ditch. The upper fills contained Early to Middle Iron Age and Roman pottery. The barrow was probably of Late Neolithic/Early Bronze Age date. (3)
