Barrow

On a rise in an E-W valley bottom. Circular grass-covered and domed area (diam. 29m NNW-SSE; H 1.7m) separated by a berm (Wth of base 2.3-3.9m) from a flat-topped earthen bank (Wth of base 4.2-5.4m; Wth of top 2.5-3.7m; int. H 0.1-0.2m; ext. H 0.3-0.6m). This is surrounded by a flat-bottomed fosse (Wth of base 2.6-4.1m; D 0.1-0.2m). There is an entrance through the fosses and bank (Wth 7m) at NE (max. ext. diam. 52m NNW-SSE). Archaeological testing (04E0813) c. 80m to the SSE in 2004 failed to produce any related material (Channing 2007). Compiled by: Michael Moore Date of upload: 24 August 2010

A Bronze Age ring-barrow; its construction and positioning suggest a funerary or ceremonial function within a prehistoric landscape.
