Description

The monument includes a bowl barrow located on ground which slopes to the east, south and west, on the north east edge of a field and immediately to the south of Chestnut Court. The barrow is visible as an earthen mound, which stands to a height of approximately 1.9m and covers a roughly circular area measuring approximately 26m in diameter. It is thought that the mound is encircled by a ditch, with an estimated width of 3m, from which earth was quarried during the construction of the barrow. Although this has now become completely infilled and is no longer visible, it will survive as a buried feature. A depression on the north side of the mound is thought to be the result of an unrecorded archaeological investigation. The surface of the track to the north east of the monument is excluded from the scheduling, although the ground beneath it is included.
