Monument record 7859 - Cropmark ring ditches and a small mound, potential prehistoric barrow cemetery

<1> National Museums and Galleries on Merseyside, 1995, An Archaeological Assessment for a Proposed Sand and Gravel Quarry at Adlington Estate, Adlington, Cheshire. (Client Report). SCH4127.

An archaeological desk-based assessment, supplemented with field observation, was undertaken in 1995 in advance of a proposed sand and gravel quarry in the Adlington Estate. Two circular cropmarks were recorded from air photographs dating to 1993. Additionally, a low, irregular mound was observed in the field lying close to the two cropmark features. Together there is the potential that these features represent a prehistoric barrow cemetery.
