Barrow, ditch barrow

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. Compiled by: Jean Farrelly Date of upload: 26 August 2011
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.
