What is recorded here

In undulating pastureland with wide views, marshy ground to the NE and a hillock to the SSE. Hachured on the 1842 and 1920 eds. of the OS 6-inch map. This subcircular ring-barrow (20.5m NE-SW; 18.7m NW-SE) is defined by a flat-based fosse (Wth 1.4-2.7m) and outer bank (Wth 3.3-4.2m; int. H 0.25; av. ext. H 0.25m). Several low limestone uprights are visible at the S part of the bank. At the NE and E field-clearance rubble is piled on the bank and the NE half is overgrown. At the NNW a small amount of bank material has been removed. The very low central mound (diam. 9.5m; H over fosse 0.15-0.2m) is quite level, but undulates at the NE. There is another ring-barrow (CL008-064----) c. 88m to the SW. Compiled by: Mary Tunney and Conn Herriott Date of upload: 26 October 2022
