This monument is a Neolithic mortuary enclosure with an associated round barrow, located south west of Frame Farm in Essex. The mortuary enclosure, characteristic of early Neolithic ritual practice, represents a form of ceremonial or burial structure typical of the fourth millennium BCE. The presence of the round barrow indicates later Bronze Age use of the site, demonstrating how such locations accumulated ritual significance across successive periods. The combination of these two monuments reflects changing funerary practices and religious beliefs across more than a thousand years of prehistoric occupation.
