Monument record MDO43798 - Bronze Age round barrow, southwest of Dairy Farm, Tarrant Launceston

A probable Bronze Age round barrow is visible as a soilmark on aerial photographs. The site is defined by a single ring ditch with a large break to the north which nearly encloses a circular area measuring circa 23m in diameter. Total diameter is circa 28m. The size and shape of the enclosure suggest that it is the plough levelled remains of a Bronze Age round barrow. There is no sign of any barrow mound or other internal feature such as a funerary deposit.
