Extract

The rarity of Celtic tumuli in the eastern part of Kent contrasts strongly withthe comparative abundance of Anglo-Saxon sepulchral remains which have beendiscovered in that part of the county. One of the former, explored by Douglas,and a large and interesting barrow in Iffins Wood, near Canterbury, opened aboutthirty years ago by Mr. Bell, are, as far as I know, the only recorded instancesof Celtic tumuli in East Kent.
