What is recorded here

The National Heritage List for England records Aldington Knoll Roman barrow and later beacon as a scheduled monument. The saved point comes from the centre supplied by the official record. Listing does not by itself mean that the public may enter the place.
Roman barrow, later converted into a beacon; dates primarily to the Iron Age with later medieval modifications. It is significant as a rare example of a prehistoric burial monument repurposed for defensive or navigational use.

The historic-place record does not grant public access. Check current conditions and ownership before entering land or a building.
