Monument record 6073/0/2 - Probable Bronze Age Round Barrow

Magnetometer survey undertaken in 1995 clearly located a circular ring ditch approximately 20m in diameter. This ditch has not, however, been detected in its entirety and the anomaly is abruptly curtailed to the north. The ring ditch was located in subsequent trial trenching.

{1} Cropmark; 1982; ring ditch: SP 9619 7036; 19m in diameter; positioned at the quarry edge; the light interior may be the barrow remnant? ;NCC Aerial Photograph: SP 9670/14 -19+21(+);

{4} A ring ditch c.22m in diameter was located in trench 70. C.0.15m of mound material survived. A flint scraper was recovered from the ditch fill.
