Full Description
Cropmarks of a probable Bronze Age round barrow cemetery, to the south-west of Tetney. Visible as a number of small groupings of circular, likely plouhged flat former mounds, measuring from 10m to 15m in diamater. Identified on aerial photographs examined as part of the National Mapping Programme. {1}
Detailed analysis of aerial photographs and Environment Agency lidar data for the area around Tetney Golf Course was conducted in late 2018. The study recorded the remains of the previously identified barrow cemetery, and allowed the locations of the individual barrows to be mapped with greater accuracy than that achieved by the NMP. {2}
This Bronze Age round barrow cemetery to the south-west of Tetney was scheduled in August 2021. The cemetery is comprised of the remains of at least 8 barrows in a main group, with further barrows visible nearby. The barrows appear as low earthwork mounds and crop marks, all below alluvial deposits. The main group is laid out on an approximate north-east to south-west alignment. The barrows range from 10m to 15m in diameter, with the upper parts of some of the mounds having been ploughed away. {3}
