Barrow, ring-barrow

What is recorded here

In level wet pasture on the NE side of a field system (TS057-016014-) with a ring-barrow (TS057-016002-) 18m to the NE and second (TS057-016003-) 18m to the ENE with others nearby. Circular slightly raised area (diam. 4m) enclosed by a slight earthen scarp (Wth 0.4m; H 0.1-0.15m) with a shallow external fosse (Wth at base 0.45m; overall Wth 0.85m; D 0.1m). From ESE-SW the scarped edge and the fosse are absent where an ENE-WSW orientated modern field drain truncates the S side of the ring-barrow. Interior is level clear of overgrowth.

A ring-barrow, likely dating to the Early Bronze Age, associated with a burial tradition of circular earthen mounds; its location among multiple similar barrows suggests a significant prehistoric funerary landscape.
