I do not have specific established scholarly information about Roman cist burials at Gorsley Wood, Kent, in the available historical record. Rather than invent details, I should note that Roman cist burials—stone-built burial containers—are known from Romano-British contexts across England, typically dating to the first to fourth centuries AD. If you have access to the formal NHLE documentation for entry 1017617, that record would contain the precise archaeological findings, dating evidence, and physical descriptions specific to this monument.
