What is recorded here
Within interior of enclosure (TS061-031----), off-centre to ENE. Excellent views in all directions except to W where highest point of slope is located. Ditch-barrow (dims. 1.9m E-W; 1.75m N-S) defined by low profile fosse (overall Wth 1.5m; basal Wth 0.5m; D 0.05m) conjoined a mound barrow (TS061-031001-) to the SW. The ditch barrow is less preserved than the mound barrow due to its location inside the entrance of the enclosure (TS061-031----). A ring-barrow (TS061-031003-) is c. 6.5m to E.
