What is recorded here

In level wet pasture on the NE side of a field system (TS057-016014-) with a ring-barrow (TS057-016002-) 2m to the NW and second (TS057-016004-) 18m to the WSW with others nearby. Circular area (diam. 4m) enclosed by an earthen scarp (Wth 0.6m; H 0.1m) with a shallow fosse (Wth at base 0.4m; overall Wth 0.8m; D 0.1m) separated by a level berm (Wth 0.8m) from a shallow external fosse (Wth at base 0.45m; overall Wth 1.45m; D 0.1m). From SSE-SSW the scarped edge has been truncated by an ENE-WSW orientated modern field drain and from SE-SW the fosses and the intermediate berm are absent. Interior is level and clear of overgrowth.

A ring-barrow, likely dating to the Early Bronze Age, associated with a burial tradition of circular earthen mounds surrounding central graves. Its proximity to other ring-barrow monuments suggests a significant funerary landscape in the region.
