ON CELTIC TUMULI IN EAST KENT
Cumberland H Woodruff excavated a bowl barrow on the Freedown in the parish of Ringwould in 1872. The KCC Heritage map site shows the location: Regretably the post-war changes to agricultural practices (and probably the recent loss of rabbits) have allowed the area surrounding the bowl barrows to be scrubbed up and so they are no longer visible from a distance. A badger sett has taken over the northern one, further distorting what is left of the original shape. A trackway that passed close to the barrows has been lost to ploughing although the straight track south-west from Victoria Road remains.
