Barrows are a nightmare typologically and ring barrows are seen as a particularly Irish monument ( MBA -IA ) characterised by a circular enclosures defined by an external bank and a wide internal ditch. Similar to some Scottish hengiforms .


Yes Grinsell (1936) shows them within a circular ditch with the removed content forming an outer circular bank. The burial/deposit placed in the centre beneath ground. The disc barrow is identical but the burial is crowned by a small mound. He mentions three disc and one ring barrow on Silk Hill, two discs on Snail Down and another on West Everleigh Down. Two more discs near the Seven Barrows and he mentions the possibility of two ring barrows near Elder Hill plus various others which are now ploughed out due to their nature.


You won't find these monuments described as ring barrows today .
