Lowster Hill. Management Unit F, Site 38:
Round barrow. Recent clearance of vegetation cover has left ruts of vehicle tracks up to 0.2 meters deep on lower flanks of mound. At top, close to 'star of David' sign is a 3m by 2m (approximately) depression partially infilled with vegetation. This looks to be a trench!
See report (S2) for further details.
