Barrow, ring-barrow

What is recorded here

On a very slight S-facing slope in low-lying wet pasture with a barrow (TS058-012002-) located at its centre and another immediately to the W (TS058-012001-). Circular area (diam. 16m) defined by an earthen scarp (Wth 2.4m; H 0.4m). At the external base of the scarp is the first fosse (Wth at base 1.6m; D 0.05-0.2m) and the first earthen bank (Wth at top 0.8m; overall Wth 2.8m; H 0.1m), a second fosse (Wth at base 1.4m; D 0.05m), a second earthen bank (Wth at top 1.7m; overall Wth 3.9m; H 0.2m), a third fosse (Wth at base 1.1m; D 0.05m) and a third outer earthen bank (Wth at top 3.1m; overall Wth 5.3m; H 0.25m). The second fosse, second bank, third fosse and outer bank enclose the ring-barrow NW-NE only and are not visible elsewhere at ground level. The external edge of the barrow (TS058-012001-) immediately to the W of this monument lies 1.9m outside the external base of the first bank and across the line of the absent outer banks and fosses WSW-NW. The interior is slightly domed and clear of overgrowth with a barrow (TS058-012002-) located at the centre. Compiled by: Jean Farrelly Date of upload: 26 August 2011
A ring-barrow, likely dating to the Early Bronze Age, associated with burial practices of the period; its location suggests a possible ritual or territorial function within a low-lying landscape.
