Plan Form - CIRCULAR
ROUND BARROW (IVINGHOE 4), 300YDS. S. OF BEACON HILL (B1).
TRACES OF MOUND AT NGR (B2).
SCHEDULED: SAM 19070 (B3).
diameter 14 paces; height 1 1/2ft. Ditched (B4).
5.5m in diameter, 0.3m maximum height. Cut into on W side by a footpath. No certain traces of a ditch (B5).
On a knoll immediately south of the hillfort is a mound measuring 9.8m in diameter by 0.5m high may be a barrow. Although no ditch is apparent, a slight berm around the south and west may mark the site of one. This is probably the barrow described by Dyer as No 4, but a confusing grid reference has led to it not being scheduled (B6).
