Monument record TR 36 NE 693 - Neolithic enclosure and triple-ditched Early Bronze Age barrow, Lord of the Manor
Summary
A triple-ditched barrow was visible on aerial photographs at Lord of the Manor near Ozengell, one of the Lord of the Manor barrow group. Inserted into a neolithic enclosure, the barrow's three ditches represent three different phases of construction at norrow intervals. The grave contained the crouched burials of a male and female but no grave goods. Secondary burials included five inhumations and a cremation accompanied by an arrowhead.
