Barrow

Situated on NE side of a hill with good views to N, E and S. Bowl-barrow (overall diam. 26m NW-SE) consisting of a small circular round-topped mound (diam. 8m; H 2m) enclosed by a shallow poorly preserved fosse with remains of a low outer bank. Some disturbance has been caused to the site by digging on the NE side of the mound, old trees growing along top of bank which has been almost totally levelled on W side. A post medieval field fence intersects the base of the mound at W (SMR File 10/04/1978). Compiled by: Caimin O’Brien Date of upload: 20 July 2015

Bowl-barrow, likely dating to the Early Bronze Age (c. 2500–1500 BCE). This type of monument is significant as an early form of burial and ceremonial earthwork, reflecting the funerary practices and social organisation of prehistoric communities.
