Barrow

On a raised hummock within generally flat wet terrain, in a reclaimed field under pasture. Within a linear barrow cemetery (L c. 130m) which runs NE-SW. Monument identified during fieldwork. This ring-barrow consists of a well-defined dome-shaped mound enclosed by a fosse (Wth 1.7-2.15m; D 0.1-0.15m) and outer bank (Wth at base 2.1-2.7m; Wth at crest 1.2-1.4m; H above int. 0.15-0.17m; H above ext. 0.04-0.09m). The outer bank has been truncated in the S quadrant by a field boundary which runs E-W. Other ring-barrows in the cemetery include TS065-073001-; TS065-073002- and TS065-073003- - which lie 58m, 94m and 74m to the SW respectively, TS065-073004 which lies 45m to the W, TS065-073005- which lies 43m to the N and TS065-073007- which lies 29m to the NE.

A ring-barrow, likely dating to the Early Bronze Age, part of a linear cemetery arrangement; such monuments are significant for understanding prehistoric burial practices and territorial organisation in wetland landscapes.
