Barrow, stepped barrow

What is recorded here

Surveyed in 2012 and described by McGuinness (2012, 30-1) as following: 'About 17m to SSE of Site 11 (WM011-137----) is an unrecorded monument, comprising what appears to be a natural hillock, rounded in appearance (Diam. 20m N-S) and clearly defined on all sides but S, where it blends into natural slope. This hillock is capped by a roughly circular, flat-­topped mound (Diam. 5m N-­S x 5.5m E-­W), poorly defined at W side, which rises 0.5m above upper surface of hillock where highest on E side. The hillock itself rises up to 1.1m above surrounding ground. Overall impression is of a stepped barrow with upper surface of natural hillock forming a broad circular shelf around the artificial mound. Same field fence that cuts through Site 11 (WM011-137----) also runs roughly N-­S through this monument. This monument and Site 11 (WM011-137----) are aligned on the mound or cairn on summit of Frewin Hill (WM011-133----). Compiled by: Caimin O'Brien based on details provided by David McGuinness.
