There is a link below to a paper by Keith Parfitt on the recent discovery of the location of Essolebyrg, also Esollbarow, an ancient feature in the Nonington landscape referred to in documents from the late 15th and early 16th centuries. The image above is AI generated and is not a sketch of the actual barrow, it is intended to give a general impression as to how the barrow and ditch may have looked.
The paper has just been published [June, 2026] in volume 147 of the Archaeologia Cantiana, the year book of The Kent Archaeological Society.
