Full description

Part of a large barrow group most of which is now destroyed (4666). Borlase was informed that another barrow in this area (in addition to 4666.01) had been excavated and was found to contain an inhumation in a long grave divided into two chambers, one long and one short (b1). It is uncertain whether this barrow is one of the surviving Scheduled ones (either 4666.04 or 4666.05) or has been destroyed (JR).
