These structures date back to the 4th and 3rd millennia BCE, highlighting the area's ancient human habitation.

It's part of the Kent Downs Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and includes habitats like chalk downland, woodland, scrub, and chalk grassland, supporting a variety of rare plant species and wildlife.
