(SU 32023836 - B) Danebury East
A sherd of EBA "rusticated ware" found by Grinsell in the
eastern end of the northern ditch of A is in Winchester Museum. (1)
A - a rather rectangular mound with squarish eastern end and
rounded tail. 66.0m in length, 28.5m in width and up to 1.8m in
height at the eastern end. The mound is flanked on either side
by a berm 3-4m in width, and a ditch 7.0m in width and 0.6m
maximum depth. Apparently unopened although the eastern end may
have been disturbed.
B - 54.0m in length and 20.0m in width with flanking side
ditches, the southern being markedly deeper at 0.7m. There is a
narrow depression along the length of the barrow but it appears
to be otherwise undisturbed. (3)
Surveyed at 1:10560. (3)
A - SU 31923829 B - SU 32023834. (4)
Subjected to annual ploughing and a little more spread, but
generally as described with the survey of 10 5 65 still correct. (5)
