Barrow, ring-barrow

What is recorded here

Circular area (diam. 10m) enclosed by low earthen bank in low lying partially drained field immediately S of Noughaval graveyard (WM016-012001-) boundary wall. Outline of earthwork clearly visible on OSI 2005 aerial photographs. Possibly represents the remains of a ring-barrow. A low linear earthwork in field to E of graveyard may represent the remains of an old trackway running from the graveyard towards Noughaval House to the E which is clearly visible on Bing Maps aerial photographs.

Ring-barrow, likely dating to the Early Bronze Age. Its location near a modern graveyard suggests continuity of sacred or significant landscape use over millennia.
