Full description

A light cropmark, possibly a plough-levelled mound, is visible on vertical aerial photographs taken in 1968 (1), between barrows MCO2072 and MCO2071. The feature, which is approximately 21m across, may be the remains of a barrow. This feature may be one of the linear group of fifteen barrows, only three of which now survive as earthworks.
