Broad Chalke 3, a slightly elongated (3) bowl barrow, 15 paces
in diameter by 9 ins in height. Called Gawen's Barrow by Aubrey.
The family of Gawen had had associations with this part of
Wiltshire for almost 600 years by Colt Hoare's time (4). (2-4)
The barrow is now ploughed out; its site is indicated in the
arable by a vague unsurveyable ground swelling and strong
concentration of surface flints.
