Monument record TR 26 NE 17 - Barrow cemetery and probable modern features, Monkton
Summary
The cropmarks of 20 ring ditches have been identified in fields just to the north of Monkton. These features were sighted from a combination of aerial photographs and land survey, and a number of further features are thought to remain in the area. It is suspected that this is the site of a barrow cemetery: excavation of a similar feature, some 500m to the east showed it was a barrow of probable early Bronze Age date (see TR 36 NW 34). Several rectilinear enclosures, a trackway and a ditch also appear as cropmarks in the area, although these are thought to be old field ditches and modern in date. There is also evidence at the site of a modern trench.
