Full Description

The possible site of a Bronze Age barrow is visible as a cropmark ring ditch on aerial photographs. It is 12m across and has been cut by a modern road. There is no visible trace of an internal mound, therefore a later prehistoric round-house interpretation cannot be ruled out. {1}
