What is recorded here
In improved pasture, on an elevated area of ground defined by old water channels. A ditch barrow (TS066-061002-) abuts c. 2m to the ESE and another (TS066-061004-) is located c. 7m to the W. A circular area (dims. 2.5m N-S.; 2.3m E-W) defined by a fosse (Wth 1m; D 0.08-0.1m). The perimeter of the interior is slightly higher SW-W-NW, possibly to compensate for the slight slope down to the W.

Ditch barrow, likely dating to the Early Bronze Age (c. 2500–1500 BCE). Its positioning relative to other barrows suggests it may be part of a ritual or funerary landscape.
