Monument record MDO43796 - Bronze Age round barrow, northwest of Dairy Farm, Tarrant Launceston

A probable Bronze Age round barrow is visible as a cropmark on aerial photographs. The site is defined by a single ring ditch which encloses a circular area measuring circa 13m in diameter. Total diameter is approximately 17m. Its shape and size suggest that it is probably the plough levelled remains of a Bronze Age round barrow. There is no sign of any internal mound or internal feature such as a funerary deposit. The feature was digitally plotted during the Dorset Middle Stour AI&M project.
