Summary
ROUND BARROW NEAR BISCATHORPE
Type and Period (2)
- MOUND (Undated)
- ROUND BARROW (Bronze Age - 2200 BC to 801 BC)
Protected Status/Designation
Full Description
The monument includes the earthwork and buried remains of a Bronze Age bowl barrow prominently situated on the summit of a ridge above the valley of the River Bain. Although the line of the encircling ditch from which material for the mound would have been quarried is not visible, it is thought that this will survive beneath the present ground surface, and will contain valuable archaeological deposits. No records of archaeological excavation are known and it is thought that the monument and the burial deposits within remain largely intact. The barrow is adjacent to the prehistoric trackway now formalised as High Street, and lies some 150m north-north-west of a similar monument located within Tongue Piece Holt and about 400m south-south-east of the long barrow north-east of South Walk Farm.
