Full Description

Remains of a possible Neolithic long barrow, visible as faint cropmarks on an aerial photograph taken in 1991, of this area to the north-west of South Ormsby. The cropmarks show an elongated oblong-shaped enclosure, defined by a ditch measuring roughly 18m by 49m, and aligned along an east-north-east to west-wouth-west axis. Faint traces of two further nearby possible long barrows also appear as cropmarks to the north-east (see MLI43651) and east (see MLI126960), along with a probable Bronze Age round barrow slightly further to the east (see MLI82256). {1}
