Barrow, ring-barrow

What is recorded here

On the N bank of a now dry meandering stream, in low-lying wet pasture. A circular enclosure (overall diam. c. 14m), defined by a fosse and what appears to be an outer bank, visible on satellite imagery (Google Earth satellite imagery, 18 November 2018), identified and reported by Jean-Charles Caillère. There are a lot of barrows in the general vicinity, including a large barrow (TS066-057----) c. 170m to the WNW and a ditch barrow (TS066-057001-) c. 200m to the W. See attached: TS066-230----_01 Google Earth satellite image (imagery date, 18 November 2018) Compiled by: Jean Farrelly Date of upload: 8 January 2022
A ring-barrow, likely dating to the Early Bronze Age, associated with burial practices involving circular enclosures and ditches. Its location near a former stream suggests a possible ritual or strategic significance in the landscape.
