Barrow, unclassified

What is recorded here

Situated on the S-facing slope of a low rise in pasture. Slightly raised circular area (diam. 6m) defined by a low bank of earth and stone (Wth. 0.7m - 1m; H 0.2m - 0.5m) with internal and external stone kerbs. At NW is a break in the bank at NW (Wth. 0.5m). However this may be the result of modern disturbance rather than an original entrance feature. Compiled by: Patrick F.

A Neolithic barrow, likely dating to the Early to Middle Bronze Age, characterized by its circular earthen and stone construction with internal and external kerbs. Such barrows often served as burial monuments and are significant for understanding prehistoric funerary practices and landscape use in the region.

The monument record does not grant public access. Check the route and ask the landowner before entering private land.
