| Summary : A Bronze Age saucer barrow, listed by Grinsell as Wilsford 69 and part of the barrow cemetery recorded as SU 13 NW 1. According to Colt Hoare, the barrow had been opened prior to his arrival in the early 19th century. There is no record of any finds. The barrow is visible on aerial photographs as a cropmark of mound surrounded by a broad ring ditch, with a diameter of 24m, surrounded by a bank resulting in a barrow with an overall diameter of 35m. It is possible the complex form of the barrow indicates that it was constructed in more than one phase. |
