In improved pasture, on a level area of high ground flanking the E and SE sides of a former lake, dry since drainage activities took place in the 1870s/1880s. Identified during field survey by Alison McQueen and Vera Rahilly (28 November 2008). Two ring-barrows (TS066-178----; TS066-180----) are located 9m and c. 36m to SSW and SW respectively. The remains of a circular area (dims. 5.0m N-S; 5.5m E-W) defined by a very shallow fosse (Wth 2.0m; D 0.1m). Compiled by: Jean Farrelly Date of revised upload: 9 September 2014
Ditch barrow, likely dating to the Early Bronze Age. Its location on former lake margins suggests a ceremonial or funerary significance related to water and landscape features of the period.
