Barrow

Barrow, embanked barrow

What is recorded here

In undulating pasture, located on a ridge-top plateau, overlooked by the summit of the ridge immediately to SW. Good views, especially extensive to N–SE. Circular platform (6m N–S; 6.5m E–W; H 0.4m) defined on its outer edge by a slightly raised internal lip, which gives the interior (diam. c. 3m) a slightly sunken or saucer-shaped profile. There is a hint of a fosse-like depression (Wth 1.4m) enclosing the platform on its W half. Compiled by: Jane O’Shaughnessy Date of upload: 22 December 2021
A circular embanked barrow, likely dating to the Early Bronze Age. Its position on a prominent ridge-top suggests ritual or funerary significance, common in prehistoric landscape use.
