Full Description

[TR 36834673] Tumulus [NR] (1) A small barrow, about half a mile south-east of the two barrows at Ringwould [See TR 34 NE 12] was examined in 1872 when human bones, charcoal and burnt flints were found. [The barrow excavated may be that at TR 36964613 - see TR 34 NE 2] (2,3) A (probable bowl) barrow standing at the NE end of a low ridge at a height of 125 feet. O.D. It measures 17.0m E-W by 15.0m transversely and is 0.5m in height. There are no traces of a ditch: under plough. A shallow depression in the centre suggests that it has been excavated. Resurveyed at 1:2500. (4) Descheduled (5)

2024 description: Mound now almost ploughed away. A slight rise in the ground no more than 0.25m high marks the site of the mound but it is very difficult to see. Site not ploughed recently. Presently under planted grass. Site not visible on any Google Earth images.(7)
