Barrow

On top of level surface of a slight rise, on the floor of a wide gently sloping NE-SW orientated valley, in level low-lying wet pasture. This ring-barrow is conjoined to a second ring-barrow (TS058-070002-) to the ESE. An embanked enclosure (TS058-046----) is located 18m to the NE, the standing stone (TS058-023004-) at Longstone is visible 1.5km to the NNE with a mound-barrow (TS058-047----) visible 750m to the SE. Circular area (diam. 5.5m) defined by an earthen scarp (Wth 0.6m; H 0.05-0.1m) with a shallow fosse (Wth at base 0.6m) and an external earthen bank (overall Wth 1m; int. H 0.05-0.1m). The external bank is incorporated into the external bank of a slightly smaller ring-barrow (TS058-070001-) E-ESE. The interior is level and clear of overgrowth.

A Neolithic ring-barrow, dating to the 4th to 3rd millennium BCE, representing an early form of burial monument associated with collective or elite interment. Its conjoined position with another ring-barrow suggests a planned burial complex, indicating social organisation and ritual significance in the Neolithic landscape.
