More information : (ST 1291 8431) Between late May and late August 1996 the Cambridge and Exeter offices of RCHME carried out an earthwork survey and aerial photographic interpretation of the complex of monuments on Hambledon Hill as part of the project to record Industry and Enclosure in the Neolithic period (1).
A low circular mound, c.11m in diameter and up to 0.3m high was identified on the highest point of the N tip of the N spur of Hambledon Hill. It has been severely mutilated by the erection and removal of an OS Trig. pillar on its summit, and therefore cannot be identified as a barrow with any certainty, but given its topographic location, may well be one.
For further details, see RCHME Level 3 client report and earthwork plan at 1:1000 scale, held in archive. (1)
