Full Description

An aerial photograph survey in 2013 identified part of a late neolithic or early bronze age ring-ditch. The feature was cut by the railway embankment. (1-2) This is one of a number of probable round barrows and sits within an extensive Anglo Saxon/Jutish cemetery, the graves of which cut into the barrow. The site of the barrow is visible on aerial photographs in some years as a chalky spread suggesing some of the barrow mound material still survives. (3)
