DESCRIPTION

+ / -

The remains of five possible round barrows of Prehistoric date are visible as cropmarks on air photographs (1999). They are each defined by a circular ditch with diameters ranging from 6m to 17m. One of the potential barrows has a possible central pit. Another has a curious elongated 'egg' shape. More specific dating of the barrows is difficult, the two larger ones could be Bronze Age, the three smaller ones possibly Iron Age.
