A much-spread round barrow, identifiable at TF 1300 9705 by the merest trace of a mound in corn stubble and a small rise in the hedge line. It is close to High Street which has prehistoric origins. {1} The monument includes the buried remains of a Bronze Age bowl barrow located on a plateau between the sources of the Nettleton Beck to the north and Otby Beck to the south. It is situated approximately 50m to the north of the boundary of the field in which it sits and is clearly visible from the air as a circular cropmark within an enclosing ditch some 25m in diameter. A second, similar mound identified from aerial photographs lies some 80m to the east (PRN 50465), with a third earthwork bowl barrow about 70m to the south (PRN 52843). These monuments are the subject of separate schedulings. The monument is one of a number of Neolithic and Bronze Age burial mounds in the area which are associated with the heads and valleys of the Nettleton and Otby Becks and with High Street, approximately 350m to the east, which originated as a prehistoric trackway, which is indicative of the ritual significance of this location. The number and frequency of these monuments poses wider questions concerning prehistoric settlement patterns and demography. Although the barrow has been degraded by ploughing its buried remains will retain valuable archaeological information, including funerary deposits, within the ditch and on and under the original ground surface concerning the barrow's dating and construction. Environmental evidence preserved in the same context will illustrate the nature of the landscape in which the monument was set. For more detail see the scheduling documentation. {3}
