What is recorded here

Towards the E end of the broad WNW-ESE Carnfree ridge, c. 60m W of bowl barrow (RO028-070----). Circular grass-covered mound (diam. of top 5m; H 0.1m) defined by a shallow fosse (Wth c. 3.5m; ext. D 0.1-0.3m; max. ext. diam. 12.5m N-S). Ditch barrow (RO028-072001-) is c. 80m to the SE. (Waddell 1988, 17) Compiled by: Michael Moore Date of upload: 24 August 2010
A Neolithic ditch barrow; its low profile and associated fosse suggest a simple funerary or territorial monument, typical of early ceremonial landscape features in Atlantic Europe.

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