Barrow

A barrow-cemetery consisting of seven barrows (WM007-014/016/017/018/015/015001-), six of the barrows are still visible with no surface remains visible of the seventh barrow. Monument surveyed in 2015 and described by McGuinness (2015, 58) as following: ‘Very low-relief earthwork comprising a low central mound or platform (Diam. 7m N-S x 6.7m E-W) surrounded by a ditch (Overall diam. 10.5m N-S x 10.2m E-W); there appears to be no surface traces of an outer bank but this need not be surprising in view of the near-flattened condition of the site. Ditch reaches a greatest depth of 0.4m below central mound at W and 0.35m below external ground level at E. Monument is located on land sloping down gently but clearly from SE to NW, and lies 10.5m NW of Site A [WM007-013----] and 3m NW of Site B [WM007-016----]’.
