Aerial Photographic Transcription (28 September 2012)
These eight possible round barrows and a scatter of pits have been recorded as cropmarks on oblique aerial photographs (RCAHMSAP 2012). The barrows are roughly circular on plan and measure between 5m and 7.5m in diameter within a ditch about 1.5m across, broken by a clear causeway in two cases. There are possible grave pits in the interior of four of the barrows and a scatter five possible unenclosed grave pits, visible as small ‘maggot-like’ cropmarks.
