What is recorded here

In improved pasture, on a S-facing slope. A ring-barrow (TS066-027001-) is located c. 2m to NW. Identified as a circular feature on an aerial photograph (OS 2397/8) during fieldwork (ASI 2009). An oval area (dims. 4.8m N-S; 5.3m E-W) defined by a fosse (Wth 2.1m; D 0.12m) which is truncated by an old land drain (long-axis NW-SE) across the SSW-arc. Poorly drained area to the SW.

A ditch barrow, likely dating to the Early Bronze Age. Its presence indicates prehistoric burial activity in the Breansha area, though its wider significance remains locally constrained.
