Barrow

Barrow, ring-barrow

What is recorded here

Situated on a slight NW-facing slope near summit of hillock, in gently undulating pasture. Circular slightly raised area (diam. 11m) defined by a low bank of earth (Wth 2.65m; int. H 0.3m). At the external foot of the bank is a fosse (Wth 2.2m; D 0.35m). A break in the bank (Wth 1.15m) with an irregular causeway across the fosse appears to be modern. At the centre of the interior is a slightly raised area (diam. 4m), defined by a faint scarped edge, which may mark the remains of a central mound. Compiled by: Patrick F.

A Neolithic ring-barrow, dating to approximately 2500–2000 BCE. This type of monument is significant as an early form of burial structure, often associated with single inhumations and reflecting early social and ritual practices in the region.
