More information : Twenty very small possible Prehistoric or Roman round barrows, seen
as cropmarks, were mapped from good quality air photographs. The
barrows occupy an area of flat land E of the River Thames (SU 6082
8536 - SU 6075 8569 - SU 6086 8591 - SU 6102 8605 - SU 6128 8553 -
SU 6082 8536).
Each barrow is defined by a single circular ditch. Eight barrows are
7m in diameter (Morph Nos. TG.107.13.1-7, TG.107.13.20).
Locations: SU 6082 8536; SU 6088 8543; SU 6089 8544; SU 6077 8550;
SU 6077 8570; SU 6097 8587; SU 6116 8563; SU 6112 8564.
Seven barrows have diameters of 12m (Morph Nos. TG.107.13.12-18).
Locations: SU 6086 8591; SU 6086 8583; SU 6075 8569; SU 6097 8573;
SU 6105 8551; SU 6083 8582; SU 6105 8580.
Five barrows are 5m in diameter (Morph Nos. TG.107.13.8-11,
TG.107.13.19).
Locations: SU 6106 8603; SU 6113 8564; SU 6099 8572; SU 6128 8553;
SU 6102 8605.
All of the barrows lie 200m-850m E of the River Thames in an area of
flat land containing many other Prehistoric ritual or funerary
monuments including larger round barrows, a Neolithic bank barrow
and at least four mortuary enclosures.
Some of these barrows lie within the area originally described in SU 68 NW 40.
This description is based on data from the RCHME MORPH2 database.
