The outer edge of the fosse is slightly damaged in the E quadrant by a land drain which flanks the NNW-SSE running field boundary. Compiled by: Jean Farrelly Date of revised upload: 9 September 2014
Ditch barrow, likely dating to the Early Bronze Age. Its association with a ring-barrow suggests a ceremonial or funerary landscape significant for prehistoric burial practices in the region.
