Full description
Department for Culture, Media and Sport, 2002, Two Prehistoric Hilltop Enclosures, a Ditch System and Four Bowl Barrows, 300 Metres North of Barton Pines Inn (Schedule Document). SDV343472.
This monument includes four Late Neolithic to Bronze Age bowl barrows, overlaid by a complex group of prehistoric settlement and stock enclosures surrounding two hilltop enclosures. It is located on a flat hilltop and gentle west-facing slope, with wide views in all directions. The monument survives as slight earthworks, some preserved in later hedgebanks, with many buried features visible as cropmarks on aerial photographs. At the south east corner of the enclosure, a hollow 15 metres diameter and 0.2 metres deep remains damp throughout the year. A ring ditch is visible here as a cropmark on aerial photographs, cut by the inner ditch on the west side of the enclosure. It measures 8 metres in diameter and has a ditch 2 metres wide. This is likely to represent a plough-levelled round barrow.
