Abstract The abstract describing the content of the publication or report |
Archaeological and documentary evidence, taken together, suggest the enduring significance of a subtle downland feature on the steep southern slope of the Malling--Caburn Downs. Named `Round-the-Down' on the 1873 Ordnance Survey map, this small rounded hill is one of the few local landforms still noted by present-day cartographers. The site of an Early Bronze Age barrow constructed alongside prehistoric fields, it retained a distinct identity well beyond prehistoric times. Within the settlement of Southerham, throughout the rise and fall of a peasant community, it became the focal point of a common field and a network of trackways, traces of which remain. Thus the barrow and its hill may have helped to define a landscape that remained in cultivation over four millennia. | |||||||||
