DescriptionNAR SH95NE8
A centrally disturbed round barrow, 16m in diameter & 1.8m high, set on a low, level promontory: excavation, 1973, showed that a central grave/pit, 1.4m by 0.8m, was surrounded by three roughly concentric stake-circles, c.3.5m to 9.0m in diameter, showing traces of hurdling, without these was a drystone wall, 11m overall diameter, with some orthostatic components, these lasr appeared to have predated the construction of a turf mound, which the completed wall revetted; a stake-circle, apparently hurdled, 14m in diameter, stood without the wall, & about all was a pallisade trench, 15m in diameter which appeared to have contained a clay capping applied to the mound: seven cremations were identified within this sequence, with two collared urns: two radio-carbon dates, centred on 1620BC & 1570BC, were produced.
