Round Barrow(s) in Denbighshire
Situated at the edge of a field the Barrow has been truncated on the WE side by a narrow public road that leads from the A5104 towards the A5. The barrow is a typical earthen built mound dating from the Bronze Age period. It has been scheduled as a national monument and there is a strong possibility of intact burial and ritual deposits.
The mound is approximately 16m in diameter NE-SW, 11.5m NW-SE and 1.5m high. A standing stone stands 1.5m on the summit of the mound. Apparently the stone was removed and used as a gate post in the 1800's but thankfully replaced some time later. However, a yew tree was planted on the site and both the stone and the barrow are now mostly concealled.
The surrounding area has a number of barrows in close proximity to each other. Barrows may be part of a larger cluster of monuments and their importance is enhanced by their group value.
