Wiltshire
Winterbourne Stoke
Grid Ref : SU0998341608
Summary : A group of late Neolithic / early Bronze Age round barrows, survives as earthworks. The group comprises six bowl and 2 possible saucer barrows that are situated circa 250m north-west of the main alignment of the Winterbourne Stoke Crossroads barrow cemetery (Monument number 219525). Most were excavated in the early 19th century by Sir Richard Colt Hoare (1812). The barrow cemetery was mapped from aerial photographs at a scale of 1:10,000 as part of the RCHME: Salisbury Plain Training Area NMP, and this mapping revised by the English Heritage Stonehenge WHS Mapping project. The barrow cemetery was surveyed at a scale of 1:1000 in August 2009 and January 2010 as part of English Heritage's Stonehenge WHS Landscape Project. Please consult the individual round barrow records for further information.
