TL 94988045 - Situated on relatively level heathland below the brow of a slight ridge at c 30.0m. OD is an unusual ringwork covered by bracken, brambles and heather. It is almost circular, measures 50.0m. in diameter overall and consists of a ditch c9.0m. wide by 1.0 to 1.4m. deep around an almost level platform c32.0m. in diameter with slight traces of a bank on the NW rim. On the SE of the platform is a small mound c7.0m. in diameter by 0.5m. in height with a slight depression in the top. There is no trace of a causeway across the ditch.

Surveyed at 1:2500 (on Diazo Copies) (S3)

Almost certainly an unusual form of Bronze Age barrow, perhaps a disc variant or an enclosed cremation cemetery. (S4)
