The monument includes a Bronze Age bowl barrow lying 140 metres west of Indicott on a high upland hilltop location. The monument survives as a 23.2 metre diameter circular mound standing up to 1.1 metres high. The surrounding ditch from which material to construct the mound was derived survives as a 2 metres wide buried feature. Bowl barrows are funerary monuments dating from the Late Neolithic period to the Late Bronze Age, with most examples belonging to the period 2400-1500 BC. The barrow survives comparatively well and contains archaeological and environmental information relating to the monument and its surrounding landscape. Other details: Monument 30312.
