Barrow, bowl-barrow

What is recorded here

Some 30m to the SE of a ring-barrow (GA100-103----). This well-preserved circular barrow (diam. 23m) comprises a flat-topped mound (diam. 5.3m; max. H 1.3m) encircled by a fosse (Wth 3m; D 0.2m). The side of the mound has been partially damaged and eroded by cattle and as a result a ledge-like feature runs around it giving it the appearance of a mound with a smaller mound on top (SMR file). A narrow drain runs off the fosse at NNE. Another possible barrow (GA100-103002-) lies c. 50m to the SW.

Circular barrow, likely dating to the Early Bronze Age. Its association with a ring-barrow suggests ritual or funerary significance within a broader ceremonial landscape.
