Full Description
A Neolithic long barrow has been identified in this location to the north of Witchall, with the site being scheduled in March 2021. The barrow lies near to the crest of a hill, on the east-facing slope of a valley over an un-named tributary that runs into the River Lud. It is visible as cropmarks on aerial photographs of this area, and appears as an oval ditched enclosure, aligned on a north-west to south-east axis, measuring approximately 38m by 21m. There is a slight hint of a compacted central mound showing as a negative cropmark but the barrow is not visible to the naked eye on the ground, and there is no discernible mound. {1}{2}
