Barrow

In pasture, on a S-facing slope. A circular earthen mound (H 0.7m; 7.6m N-S; 8.2m E-W) surrounded by a level berm (Wth. 4.35m), with an external fosse (D 0.6m; Wth 3.2m). A field drain runs radially out from the base of the mound at E and another field drain crosses the line of the fosse at NW. There is no evident trace of the fosse E->NW. An ESB pole stands at the base of the mound at NNW. A large tank sits in the fosse at NNW. The entire site is under rough pasture. Compiled by: Denis Power Date of upload: 26 August 2011
