Full description

A dark cropmark is visible on vertical aerial photographs taken in 1951 (1) immediately to the south of the barrow described in MCO2070. It appears to be a sub-circular feature, 10m across, possibly a small enclosure or plough-levelled barrow. This feature may be one of the linear group of fifteen barrows, only three of which now survive.
