Full Description
Cropmarks of a possible square barrow recorded by CUCAP (date not held at NMRS, but probably 1977) and the RCAHMS in 1977. The site is shown on the photographs as a distorted rectilinear enclosure of uncertain form and extent and was interpreted as at least one ditched barrow measuring about 5m square. An excavation in advance of gravel extraction in 1988 revealed no trace of any archaeological features below the ploughsoil. The trench, roughly 20m x 20m was observed under a variety of weather and light conditions. The excavator concluded that since the cropmarks had appeared only in one year they were probably a temporary feature in the ploughsoil.
