Mound

What is recorded here

Adjacent to a farmstead, in pasture, located on a slight rise overlooking a small river c. 40m to NW Circular platform (17m N−S; 16.2m N−S) defined by a scarp (H 0.9m; Wth slope 1.4m, at N). A central rise in the platform gives it a gently domed profile, so that the centre of the platform has a height of 1.5m above surrounding exterior ground level. This rise grades seamlessly to the perimeter on the S arc, but on the N half, it slopes more abruptly towards the perimeter and then levels out so that there is a 2-3m gap between the base of the slope and the edge of the platform scarp. Ringed with thorn bushes and beech trees. Compiled by: Jane O’Shaughnessy Date of upload: 23 November 2022
A circular Bronze Age burial mound, possibly a ring barrow or cairn; its location on a prominent rise suggests ritual or funerary significance.
