What is recorded here
On a slight E-facing slope in gently undulating low-lying pasture at the W side of a distribution of sites including an enclosure (TS065-063005-) c. 80m to the SE and numerous barrows in the vicinity. Identified on aerial photograph (Bruff 43, 5/2041). Originally circular, the ditch-barrow consists of a semi-circular area (diam. 4m) defined by a shallow fosse (overall Wth 4.3m; Wth at base 1m; D 0.2m). The fosse encloses the site N-S being best preserved N-NE and having a consistent very shallow profile. The fosse is not visible at ground level S-N. The interior is level and clear of overgrowth.
