What is recorded here

In rough, wet pasture, 12m SE of a field boundary and 70m SW of a stream. Ditch-barrows (LI024-319/320/318----) lie 185m to N, 200m to NE and 190m to NE, respectively. Not depicted on OS historic mapping. Monument identified as a roughly circular-shaped earthwork by the Bruff aerial photographic survey in 1986 (Bruff 149: AP 4/3677). Monument is visible as an oval-shaped cropmark (approx. dim. 19m NE-SW; 15m NW-SE) on Digital Globe orthophotos taken 2011-13. Vague traces of a cropmark are visible on Google Earth orthoimage taken 18/11/2018. See attached Google Earth orthoimage and Bruff aerial survey image labelled Bruff 149.

A ring-barrow, likely dating to the Early Bronze Age, associated with a burial tradition of circular earthen mounds. Its location near other ditch-barrows suggests a wider ceremonial or funerary landscape.
