Hob Uid: 228065
Location : Hampshire Test Valley Penton Grafton

Summary : Earthwork remains of a Bronze Age bowl barrow. Field investigations in 1982 found it to have a diameter of 32 metres and a height of 0.6 metres. Excavations have possibly located the primary and secondary burials. A range of finds including a Saxon knife, Medieval pottery and a Roman coin were recovered from the mound material. The excavations also found that the barrow had been utilised as a mill mound.
More information : 'Windmill Barrow', SU 3113 4699, (4) excavated 1911 by the Rev. R.M.Heanley & Mr. Ernest East who found it to be a ditched bowl barrow later utilised as a mill mound (the cruciform sleeper trenches of this being clearly visible). Material from the body of the mound covered the periods BA, RO, PR, PN and included a bone needle, a stone chisel, an iron spearhead, a Saxon knife, much Md. pottery and a coin of Gratian, but the excavators also thought that they detected a primary burial and 7 secondaries although Crawford & Williams-Freeman make light of this aspect & ignore it.
