Recorded monuments

• WM030-001 Barrow - ring-barrow
  Description

  Situated on a slight rise in undulating poorly drained pasture with good views of surrounding countryside. A large roughly circular area (overall diam. c. 75m E-W; int. diam. c. 30m E-W) delimited by a wide shallow flat-bottomed fosse with a substantial earth and stone bank well preserved from S-W-N-NE but elsewhere it is lower in height and has been defaced in places. There is a modern gap in bank at NE and some old quarry holes at WNW and WSW. The interior of the monument along with the enclosing fosse is traversed by old cultivation ridges running N-S. Most of the interior of the monument has been disturbed by these cultivation ridges. An old ESB pole has been placed on top of the bank at NE. It has been suggested that this monument may be the remains of a possible henge due to the large diameter of the monument or may be an example of a large ring-barrow (SMR File 29/03/1973).
