Log Text: Unusually an oval Round Barrow - it is more likely to be Iron Age than Roman - another RB just 50m to S leads to the notion it is earlier - they often went in pairs - the Roman burial could be an intrusion - did Witts suspect this but having made a mistake with another barrow locally fail to appreciate the logic - trying to play 'safe' - Playne thought it was more likely to be Iron Age
