Grinsell's number used throughout:
1. Bell Barrow: tree covered and heavily overgrown but remains
of berm and ditch still recognisable. Overall diameter 47.0 m.,
height 2.5 m.
2. Bowl barrow: tree covered, good condition, diameter 19.0 m.,
height 1.5 m.
3. Bowl barrow: ditched, tree covered, good condition. Diameter
28.0 m., height 1.5 m. An apparent berm on the S. side is the
result of mutilation.
4. Disc barrow: a low, near circular bank, some 42.0 m. in
diameter overall, with a mound in the enclosed area measuring
10.0 m. in diameter E-W, 12.0 m. in diameter transversely, and
0.8 m. in height. There is the faint remains of an outer ditch
visible mainly on the SW side. Nothing remains of the second
mound formerly in the central area.
5. Bowl barrow: 30.0 m. in diameter, and 2.0 m. in height: tree
covered, good condition, but no trace of berm on SE noted by

good condition.
7. Bowl barrow 27.0 m. in diameter E-W, 24.0 m. in diam.
transversely, and 1.5m in height. There is a low bank on the S
