Barrow, ring-barrow

What is recorded here

In level wet pasture on the SW side of a field system (TS057-016014-) and with a ring-barrow (TS057-016012-) c. 40m to the NNW and another (TS065-069001-) immediately to the WSW with others nearby. Identified during field survey by Mark Keegan (8/11/2004). Circular slightly raised area (diam. 3.5m) enclosed by an earthen scarp (Wth 0.4m; H 0.15m) with a shallow fosse (Wth at base 0.4-0.5m) and a low external earthen bank (int. H 0.1m; ext. H 0.1m; Wth at top 0.6m; overall Wth 1.5m). The fosse and external bank are absent WSW-NNW where the external edge of the monument abuts another ring-barrow (TS065-069001-) immediately to the WSW. The interior is level and clear of overgrowth. Compiled by: Jean Farrelly Date of revised upload: 16 September 2014
A ring-barrow, likely dating to the Early Bronze Age, and part of a broader pattern of burial monuments in the region, indicating settled funerary practices and social organisation.
