SJ 455483. A round barrow, 50 to 60ft. in diameter and
approx. 6ft. high, was excavated by Mr.J.Blake of New HouseFarm,
Shocklach, who discovered an oak plank at a depth of about 7ft,
possibly part of a trunk coffin. It is suggested that the barrow
covers an inhumation burial of E.B.A. date. (1)

The barrow at SJ 45454834 is oval in shape, 20.0 m. E - W, and
16.0 m. N - S. This shape is probably due to ploughing. It is
1.5 m. high, and grass covered with no ditch.

Surveyed at 1/2500. (2)

No change to field report of 10.1.69. Published survey (1:2500)
