What is recorded here

On level ground at base of slight depression, immediately to the S of a stream, in gently undulating pasture. Roughly D-shaped area (dims. 22m NE-SW; 16m NW-SE) defined by an earthen scarp (Wth 1.5 m; H 0.8m). At the external base of the scarp is a flat-bottomed fosse (Wth at base 2m) and a low broad external earthen bank (overall Wth 5.3m; Wth at top 2.4m; int. H 0.2-0.4m; ext. H 0.3m). The curving scarp, fosse and external bank enclose the site NE-SW. The scarped edge, fosse and external bank have been removed and the edge of the barrow straightened off SW-NW by a modern N-S orientated field drain. The monument is defined NW-NE by a W-E flowing stream. The interior is level and clear of overgrowth. Compiled by: Jean Farrelly Date of upload: 26 August 2011
