Description
One of 3/4 barrows in a linear cemetery (see Nprn300421), this was, c.22.5m in diameter and 1.2m high, excavated 1806 & 1946, an urn having been reported here earlier. The 1946 excavation revealed the postholes of a somewhat irregular palisade c.18m in diameter, a feature off-centre within being described as a 'fire hole'.
The mound has been built upon and no trace is said to remain.
