Barrow

Barrow, embanked barrow

What is recorded here

Situated on elevated grassland with good views. Low roughly circular shaped earth and stone mound (approx. diam. 12m; H 0.3m) best preserved at W with some dumping of field clearance debris at E. The centre of the mound appears to have a hollow depression but this feature was difficult to interpret due to the growth of nettles and other vegetation on the mound.

Embanked barrow, likely dating to the Early Bronze Age. This type of monument is significant as it represents an early form of burial practice associated with the introduction of metallurgy and agrarian society in the region.

The monument record does not grant public access. Check the route and ask the landowner before entering private land.
