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 south-west of Stonepits Plantation, South Ormsby. The cropmarks show an elongated oblong-shaped enclosure, defined by a ditch measuring roughly 18m by 32m, 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-west (see MLI43651) and west (see MLI126959), along with a probable Bronze Age round barrow to the east (see MLI82256). {1}
