What is recorded here

In reclaimed pasture, ringfort (LI036-041----) and enclosure (LI036-213) lie 145m to the NW and 260m NE respectively. Not marked on OSi historic maps. Identified by Hugh Carey during examination of aerial photographs (Bing maps aerial photograph 2014) and described as a possible barrow. Levelled monument visible as circular-shaped cropmark (diam. c. 10m) on the OSi orthophotograph taken between 2005-12 and on Google Earth orthoimages. A drainage channel running NW-SE lies 30m to the W. See attached Google Earth orthoimages and Bing maps aerial photograph. Compiled by: Fiona Rooney Date of upload: 20 April 2021
A ditch barrow, likely dating to the Early Bronze Age, associated with burial practices of the period; its identification from aerial photographs highlights the value of such methods in uncovering unmarked prehistoric sites.
