Monument Number 216439

Hob Uid: 216439
Location :
Wiltshire
Compton Bassett
Grid Ref : SU0372071190
Summary : Ditchless round barrow at Mount Wood, listed by Grinsell as Compton Bassett 1. The mound is conical, 15 metres across and 3.1 metres high, and has been suggested by OGS Crawford to perhaps be Roman rather than Bronze Age.
More information : (SU 03727119) TUMULUS (LB). (1)

Compton Bassett 1 - a mound of uncertain date 84 ft x 8 ft.
Crawford suggests a possible Roman date. (2-3)

This is a ditchless conical mound 15 m. across and 3.1 m. high.
It is certainly a barrow and its shape supports Crawford's
suggestion of a possible Roman date.

Grinsell in describing it as 84 ft in diameter probably
transposed his figures.

Published survey (1/2500) revised. (4)
