Summary : A bowl barrow, part of the Oakley Down barrow group (SU 01 NW 19). Listed by RCHME as Wimborne St Giles 100 and by Grinsell as Wimborne St Giles 19, it was described by RCHME as a mound 48 feet in diameter and 5 feet high. It was excavated in the early 19th century by Cunnington and Hoare (their barrow 19), and according to Hoare it "contained, within a round cist cut in the chalk, the burned bones of one body, and two very small arrow-heads". These objects, now in Devizes Museum, are in fact perforated bone pins.
