Full Description
Cropmarks of a Neolithic long barrow, situated in a slope position at the head of a deep dry valley, facing north. It is aligned south-east to north-west, and its long axis runs parallel to the contours. It is a trapeziform enclosure with straight terminals, and the ditch on the north side is staggered on plan. A small circular feature is visible at the east end. {1}{2}{3}
The long barrow is located 350m south-west of Sycamore Farm. It does not appear to have a causeway, and this is thought to indicate that the long barrow was not elaborated with a mound. Inside the ditch circuit there is a circular feature, which is probably the main burial site. It was scheduled on 16th April 1999. {4}
