Archaeology

The site of a Bronze Age round barrow.  It is a turf covered mound which shows a high stone content. It has a diameter of 9.0 metres and an average height of 0.6 metres. There are traces of burning which may be due to comparatively recent farming activities. It has a retaining circle or kerb of granite boulders average 0.5 metres high, 1.0 metre wide by 0.3 metres thick. Some small stones have evidently been dumped on top from field clearance.
