Please read our guidance about the use of Northamptonshire Historic Environment Record data.
Summary
The buried remains of a bowl barrow situated 25 metres to the east of the Iron Age hillfort (SP 65 NW 5) at Castle Dykes Farm. The barrow has been reduced by ploughing, and the earthwork remains are no longer visible on the ground surface. However, cropmarks generated by the fill of the barrow's buried ditch regularly appear and were recorded on aerial photographs taken in 1970. The barrow ditch defines a circular area measuring 25 metres in diameter. Scheduled.
