Barrow

At the crest of the N-facing slope of a rise that forms the SE summit of a broad NW-SE ridge. Described as a rectangular platform (dims of top c. 9m NE-SW; c. 6m NW-SE; H c. 1.5m) separated by a fosse from an outer bank which only survived at NW (Knox 1918a, 161, Pl. VIII, E). It is now a D-shaped, flat-topped and grass-covered mound which has been damaged at W (dims of base 9.5m NNE-SSW; 8m WNW-ESE; dims of top 6.3m NNE-SSW; 4.6m WNW-ESE; H 0.8-1m). There is no evidence of a fosse or outer bank but a WNW-ESE field bank is immediately to the N. Ring-barrow (RO034-066001-) is c. 25m to the ENE.

A Neolithic ring-barrow; its rectangular platform and fosse suggest a ceremonial or funerary function, typical of early Bronze Age burial practices in the region.
