Full Description

A Saxon barrow cemetery, visible as cropmarks in the 2007 Google Earth image, to the north of Woolage Village.

Tight cluster of at least 20 ring ditches, all in the range of 5m-8m in diameter. Several have internal oblong features, c.2m long and aligned roughly E-W, suggesting inhumation barrows. Most of the barrows are tightly clustered in an area of c.70m x c.30m and appear to be confined by two roughly parallel linear features, though whether these are contemporary or not is unclear.
