Hob Uid: 1310976
Location : Dorset Sixpenny Handley and Pentridge
Grid Ref : ST9720017860
Summary : A possible bowl barrow in Scrubbity Coppice, one of a group excavated by Pitt Rivers in 1882-83. Pit Rivers' barrow xv (Grinsell's Handley 7, not numbered by RCHME), it was excavated on January 25th 1883. Located immediately southwest of ST 91 NE 95, prior to excavation it was visible as an oval mound 20 feet by 16 feet across, comprised entirely of earth and flints. 28 flint flakes and 1 retouched flake were the only finds. Pitt Rivers suggested that the site may in fact have been a spoil heap associated with the unrecorded excavations on the adjacent barrow ST 91 SE 95. [NB this site was originally described as part of ST 91 NE 17. That record should be consulted for some additional sources and information]
