What is recorded here

In flat pastureland. This poorly preserved overgrown ring-barrow (diam. 25m) comprises a central platform (diam. c. 13m; H 0.9-1m) surrounded by a fosse. In 1953 Duignan (SMR file) noted traces of a ‘bank demolished in places’; no visible surface trace survives. The interior is planted with coniferous trees. A number of field-clearance spoil heaps have been piled along the edge of fosse. Other ring-barrows (GA114-130----, GA114-132---- and GA114-135----) lie c. 200m to the NE, c. 260m to the ENE and c. 90m to the SW respectively.
