Why this matters
Ring-barrow, likely dating to the Early Bronze Age. Its significance lies in the presence of a copper-alloy brooch pin, indicating metallurgical knowledge and possible funerary practices of the period.
What is recorded here
Excavations in 1995 of a circular mound revealed an enclosing fosse (Wth 0.7m; D 0.25) which produced flint flakes and modern pottery. A copper-alloy brooch pin was found at the edge of the mound. The removal of the mound exposed an earlier ditch that produced cremated bone and a funnel-shaped pit complex which produced iron slag and an unidentified iron object (Mullins 1996, 13).
