Full Description
A prehistoric ring ditch 12m across is visible as cropmarks on aerial photographs. Whilst it may be the remains of a later prehistoric round house, it's position at the end of a ridge upon which a number of other barrows are located, means that a Bronze Age barrow interpretation is probable. {1}
