Full Description
Cropmarks of a Bronze Age round barrow, to the east of North Willingham. Visible as a ring ditch measuring 16m in diameter, straddling the remains of an earlier Neolithic long barrow (see MLI54249). {1}{2}{3}{4}
Further analysis of the aerial photographic evidence show the remains of the round barrow as cropmarks, with traces of a shallow earthwork also possibly surviving. The barrow has an internal diameter measuring 22m. It presumably re-used some of the mound material from the earlier long barrow in its construction. {5}{6}{7}
