Cropmarks of Neolithic to Bronze Age round barrow, south-west of Littlebury (EHER 197)

A probable Neolithic and Bronze Age round barrow is visible as a cropmark and soilmarks on aerial photographs. The site is defined by a ring ditch which surrounds a central mound. The mound measures 17m in diameter and the ring ditch measures between 3m and 5.5m wide. The site is probably the plough levelled remains of a Prehistoric ritual monument such as a Neolithic/Bronze Age round barrow. It is the northernmost of a group forming a barrow cemetery
