Full Description
The earthwork at ST 92131698, which Grinsell identifies as a bowl barrow, is almost certainly part of the bank of the adjoining dyke (ST 91 NW 35). <2-3>
This slight amorphous mound does not appear to be a bowl barrow. It lies on the line of the dyke (ST 91 NW 35) and is almost certainly part of it; the barrow-like appearance resulting from modern mutilation. <4>
