A Bronze Age barrow, likely a ring barrow or bell barrow, with a surrounding fosse. Its truncated form suggests partial excavation or erosion, but such monuments often mark significant burial or ritual sites in the prehistoric landscape.
The monument record does not grant public access. Check the route and ask the landowner before entering private land.
