Long Barrow

As well as the long barrow, there is a round barrow across the road in the field to the north, apparently known as Royal Oak Field.
Summary of Pastscape details:A round barrow situated at SP 06701239 upon the gentle north-facing slope of a ridge. The barrow measures in diameter 29.0m north-south by 26.0m transversely, with a maximum height of 1.0m. There are no visible remains of a ditch; under plough.
Two upright slabs seen in 1936 after ploughing are no longer visible.
The Bronze Age barrow is not clearly visible on the available aerial photographs, although a lighter coloured area, which is probably caused by a spread of the stone material that formed the mound, is visible in 1946.
