What is recorded here

Immediately W of a field boundary which runs NE-SW, in generally flat wet terrain, in a reclaimed field under pasture. Within a linear barrow cemetery (L c. 130m) which runs NE-SW. This monument was identified as a circular feature on Google Earth aerial imagery (Imagery Date: 2/20/2009). There is no visible trace of this monument above ground. There are a number of field drains in this specific area which may be creating the false impression of monument on the aerial. However, it has been classified as a ring-barrow possible based on its appearance on the Google aerial and its close proximity to a ring-barrow cemetery. Ring-barrows in the cemetery include TS065-073001-; TS065-073002-; TS065-073003-; TS065-073004- which lie 124m, 111m, 95m and 66m to the SW respectively, TS065-073005- which lies 27m to the NW and TS065-073006- which lies 29m to the SSW.

This remains an important historical record, but the official description says the monument is no longer visible or has been destroyed.

The monument record does not grant public access. Check the route and ask the landowner before entering private land.
