What is recorded here

In pasture, on the SSW-facing slope of a low hill. A circular area (12.3m N-S; 11.9m E-W) enclosed by a fosse (D 0.35m; Wth 1.95m) with an external bank (int. H 0.6m; ext. H 0.4m). The fosse is waterlogged and covered by a stand of rushes. There are opposite causewayed entrances at E (Wth 2.6m) and at W (Wth 3m). A field boundary skirts the bank at N. The interior is level and covered by rough grazing with some rushes growing on its partially waterlogged surface. Compiled by: Denis Power Date of upload: 26 August 2011
A Neolithic ring-barrow; significant as a rare waterlogged example, potentially preserving organic remains.
