Barrow

In pasture, sited on an elevation with excellent views over rolling grassland and to SE over an expanse of rough wet ground. This barrow is not shown on any edition of the OS 6-inch maps. Slightly raised circular area (diam. 5-5.5m) defined by a bank (Wth c. 2m; ext. H 0.45m at SE, 0.65m at NW) with a low internal rim. A few large stones lying against the external face of the bank at SW are likely to be field clearance stones. The barrow is largely obscured by clumps of gorse and brambles. A ringbarrow (MA092-063----) is located 15m to SE. Compiled by: Jane O’Shaughnessy Date of upload: 17 May 2022

A Bronze Age embanked barrow; its location on an elevated site suggests it was deliberately chosen for visibility and ceremonial significance. The absence from early maps indicates possible later agricultural or landscape changes.
