Monument record TR 04 NE 28 - Early Bronze Age barrow, River Meadows
Summary
An early Bronze Age barrow was found during works to level farmland in April 1971 at River Meadows to the north of Wye village. No trace of this monument is now thought to remain, however before levelling the barrow survived to a height of circa 0.6m and a diameter of 18.0m. A cremation burial was also found within the barrow as well as over 100 sherds of probable beaker ware and a large number of flint artefacts, including an axe, scrapers, 4 cores and 29 blades/flakes.
