The site of a Bronze Age barrow which was opened in 1888, when intact cremation burials were uncovered. Before excavation the barrow measured almost 12 metres in diameter and was 2.1 metres high, but the excavation led to its removal. 


When excavated, a bed of red sand up to 0.75 metres thick was noted at the base of the mound, over which had been lain a layer of quartz, also up to 0.75 metres thick. Above the quartz was a layer of sand which was 0.60 metres thick, within which were found urns, charcoal and flint flakes. Six cremation urns were discovered at a depth of 0.30 to 0.60 metres below the surface and contained, with one exception, burned bones. The urns were from 20cm to 30cm high and were without ornament except for one which had closely set, faintly incised, short haphazard strokes. They were place mouth downwards except for one which lay on its side. The mound was almost entirely excavated but no cist was found.


One of the workmen said that about 40 years previously he helped to remove a larger but similar mound some 75 metres to the north and nearly opposite the vicarage gate. He said that both barrows were similar in construction and that a considerable number of 'Crocks', presumably cremation urns, were found in good condition. He said that some were attached together with wire. No trace remains of either barrow.
