Notes
HER: Round barrow on Ridding Down of 8.0 metres diameter by 0.6 metres high. An earthwork mound is clearly visible on aerial photographs of the 1960s. The mound has been mutilated by historic robbing, visible as a central pit. The mound is adjacent to and possibly respected by a boundary bank, probably the remains of a reave.References
