Barrow

Surveyed in 2013 and described by McGuinness (2014, 60) as following: 'Low, subcircular, flattish-topped mound (Diam. 4.9m N-S x 3.6m E-W) situated on rough but fairly level ground, which slopes down immediately to NE. Mound reaches up to 0.47m in height on SE side; although probably higher on NE side, edge of mound blends imperceptibly into the natural slope here, precluding any clear measurement. Monument is located on a low but prominent E-W running ridge with spectacular views in all directions, especially to N. Farther W on same ridge, the ASI documents a second possible mound but this is not accepted as an archaeological feature here (WM024-015----). Running along N side of ridge in the immediate vicinity of the mound is a low bank. Other features in the immediate vicinity of the mound appear to be of later date. Across the road to E, on same ridge, is a large mound with evidence of structures on its upper surface; this has been classified as a motte by the ASI (WM024-014----)'.
