Barrow

Marked only on the 1929 ed. of the OS 6-inch map as a small mound (diam. c. 10m), and situated on a slight rise at the crest of the N-facing slope of a broad W-E spur. This is a circular, domed and grass-covered mound (diam. 22.5m N-S; 21m E-W; H 0.25m). Geophysical survey (09R145) confirms that it was a mound (diam. c. 8m), possibly with a central pit, enclosed by a fosse (ext. diam. c. 12-15m) and outer bank (max. ext. diam. c. 25m), which may have had an entrance at SW (Barton 2009). Archaeological testing (09E0525) outside a buffer zone ((Wth c. 30m) failed to produce any related material (Morahan 2012). Moated site (RO034-070----) is c. 40m to the NW.

A ring-barrow, likely dating to the Early Bronze Age, and representing a type of funerary monument associated with single inhumations. Its presence indicates prehistoric settlement and burial activity in the area, though its wider significance remains unexplored.
