Full Description
The barrow was identified by RCHME in 1993 during a rapid examination of air photographs <1>. Although the barrow has not been excavated, it is clear that it was ploughed out prior to 1954 and now has limited potential. Geophysical survey and sample excavation may determine the extent of survival and potential, but on present evidence it is not proposed to schedule this barrow. <2>
