Cushy Cow Lane, round barrow

Square-ditched enclosure representing a prehistoric funerary monument commonly referred to as a barrow. Prehistoric pottery and fragments of burnt bone were located in a central pit during an evaluation on the site in 2016. A gully traced as a geophysical feature respected the barrow running NNE-SSW to either side of the enclosure.

In 2019 a subsequent archaeological strip, map and record was conducted. The excavations further revealed a ring ditch from a Middle Bronze Age round barrow and a central pit which contained cremated bone, four pottery sherds and a fragment of daub providing evidence of funeral practices from the Middle and Late Bronze Age. Two gullies were also excavated, these appear to incorporate the barrow within a later prehistoric field boundary.
