What is recorded here

In improved pasture, on a very gradual S-facing slope. A ring-barrow (TS066-075005-) is located within the NW sector. A sub-circular area (dims. 18m N-S; 20m E-W) defined by scarp (Wth 2-2.75m; H 0.15-0.25m) N-ESE, SE-W and on the straight side (L 16m) to the WNW with a possible fosse (Wth 4.1m; D 0.12m) along the WNW side which may be a result of drainage activity, and a very broad fosse in the NE quadrant which may be a result of natural water activity. The interior has a S-facing slope and is slightly uneven. Compiled by: Jean Farrelly Date of upload: 26 August 2011
A ring-barrow, likely dating to the Early Bronze Age, associated with burial practices and territorial markers of the period. Its location within a scarp-defined enclosure suggests ritual or ceremonial significance.
