Why this matters

A ring-barrow, likely dating to the Early Bronze Age, characterized by its circular fosse and external bank. Such monuments are significant as they often mark individual burials and reflect early ceremonial landscape use in Britain.

What is recorded here

Situated on level summit of a broad rise in gently undulating pasture. Circular area (diam. 14m) defined by a scarp (ext. H 0.2m) with a fosse (Wth 5.3m) and an external bank of earth (Wth 6m; int. H 0.4m). An E-W orientated field boundary bank of earth and stone crosses the site at SW and at SE. The scarped edge, the fosse and the external bank are absent to the S of this boundary. There is a modern break (Wth 4m) in the external bank at NE. Compiled by: Patrick F. O'Donovan Date of upload: 21 April 2011
