Archaeology

A barrow cemetery consisting of three separate round barrows or bowl barrows.


The three barrows are situated on a ridge top and are now grass-covered, ditchless mounds. PRN0857.00/A measures 15.0 metres east to west, 19.0 metres north to south by 0.7 metres high and has some small stones on the surface; PRN0857.00/B measures 13.0 metres diameter by 0.5 metres high, again with stones on the surface; PRN0857.00/C measures 17.0 metres in diameter by 0.6 metres high.  


Mound C was subject to archaeological excavation by the University of Leicester, and Newcastle University in 2017 and a cist, a collared urn and a number of flint artefacts, all of Bronze Age type, were found.
