What is recorded here
In pasture. A circular enclosure defined by a fosse, visible on satellite imagery (© Google Earth, imagery date 18 November 2020), identified and reported by Jean-Charles Caillère. The size of the enclosure and the high concentration of barrows in the surrounding area would suggest that this is a barrow. Only the E portion of the enclosure is visible (dims. c. 5m) projecting eastward from another ditch barrow (TS065-079----) which is either conjoined with it or overlies it. A ringfort (TS065-070----) is located c. 130m to the E.
