Description
{3} Trial excavations were carried out at the site of a Bronze Age round barrow to try to determine if a full excavation was justified at a later date. The barrow, still standing 1 in high, had spread to a diameter of 55 m completely sealing the ditch. {4} The barrow mound was destroyed in 1980. A watching brief failed to locate any burials or dating evidence, but 19th century disturbance was confirmed.
