History & significance

Bowl barrow and part of a later boundary bank, in the northern part of West Wood, 600m west of Mockbeggar Farm is a Bronze Age burial monument located in Kent, England. The bowl barrow itself represents a typical funerary structure of the Bronze Age period, consisting of an earthen mound constructed over a central burial or burials. The later boundary bank, which forms a separate but associated element of the monument, indicates subsequent use and modification of the landscape during a later historical period, demonstrating how this location remained significant for land division and management beyond its original funerary function. The monument's survival within West Wood reflects the woodland context that has often preserved such archaeological features from later disturbance.
