Note in the Name Book reads:

Kent SHEET LVI N.W. Two very much ploughed over barrows are visible in a field north west of Buckholt Farm, 500 yards from the Farm. Magnetic bearings from the junction of the road to the Farm and the Penny Pot- Sole Street Road: 1st barrow, 152 degrees, 2nd barrow, 162 degrees. The two barrows are about 50 yards apart, and 150 yards from Sole Street road. Their shape is now rather indeterminate, but they are too big for Saxon barrows and more likely to be Bronze Age. There are vague traces of a third barrow. The site should be marked on the 6-Inch map. Mentioned by Payne, Coll. Cant. 201
