What is recorded here

Mid way down a long, gentle N-facing slope, overlooked by two large ring-barrows (KD022-042---- and KD022-043----) and two small ditch barrows (KD022-081---- and KD022-082----) c. 100m to the S; a third possible ditch barrow (KD022-083----) lies c. 180m to SSW, a fourth (KD022-085----) c. 180m to SW and a fifth (KD022-086----) c. 160m to WSW. Visible on aerial photograph (DoD, 1999). A very slightly raised circular area (diam 4.5m; H 0.2m) is defined by a narrow, shallow fosse (Wth 1.6m; D 0.1m) SE-SW (upslope) and elsewhere by a low scarp (H0.2m).

Ditch barrow, likely dating to the Early Bronze Age. Its location within a cluster of barrows suggests it is part of a significant funerary landscape associated with ritual or burial practices of the period.
