Barrow

Three circular areas defined by banks (diams. av. 6.25m) were identified near the shoreline immediately S of Bremore passage tomb cemetery in the 1950s (Hartnett 1957, 264). Geophysical survey (Licence no. 06R0050) identified an enclosure located approximately 110m SW of Mound I (DU002-007001-) that may correspond with one of Harnett's sites. The geophysical anomaly comprises as a circular ditch (25m diam.). No internal features were identified. The remaining two sites were not identified by the geophysical survey (Gimson 2006, 10). The field is under tillage. Not visible at ground level. The Bremore headland was also subject to a constraint study carried out by Margaret Gowen & Company Ltd. in advance of a proposed port. In addition fieldwalking and lithic analysis was undertaken for an MA study (Collins, 2007). Compiled by: Geraldine Stout Updated by: Christine Baker Date of upload: 16 April 2015
