More information : (SU 08765117) Slay Barrow (NR). (1) Slay Barrow (Rushall 1), a bowl barrow very damaged by shell fire. (2) SU 08755117. 'Slay Barrow' (name not verified), a prominent bowl barrow measuring about 24.0m in diameter and a height 1.9m; it is now pitted all over with shell craters and exhibits a distorted profile. The churned-up surrounding ground makes it impossible to determine, by inspection, if the barrow was originally encircled by a ditch. Poorly defined on OS AP (3). Situated in undulating downland, which now forms part of the Larkhill Artillery Range impact area. Resurveyed at 1:2500 on MSD. (4)
Originally recorded as Rushall 1 by Goddard. (5) |
