NHER 38655 (Cropmark and Earthwork record) - Earthwork and cropmark of Bronze Age round barrow

A possible Bronze Age round barrow is visible as an earthwork and cropmark on aerial photographs. A sub-circular mound may be visible as a slight earthwork on aerial photographs taken in 1969, the location of which corresponds with a negative cropmark on later aerial photographs. Traces of an encircling ditch may also be visible but are not clear enough to map. The site has a distinctive topographical location on a spur of land overlooking a minor river valley to its west. Numerous prehistoric ceremonial and funerary monuments have been identified in the vicinity, and thus the interpretation of the site as a Bronze Age barrow seems plausible, although in the absence of supporting evidence (or clearer cropmarks on aerial photographs) its archaeological origin remains uncertain.
