More information : 'Barrow' named at approximately SU 455355 but precise site indecipherable. (1)
SU 456352. Long barrow. Scheduled No. 586. (2)
SU 45583526. A prominent, tree-covered mound. Overall length
44.0m., maximum width 22.0m., and height from 2.3m. at the
north-west end to 1.9m. at the south-east end. The top is
lower and broadens out at the south-east end, possibly as a
result of slumping or despoliation. There is little evidence of
ditch. Other mounds in the wood, especially to the south-west,
appear to be spoil heaps from the destruction of the military
camp in the wood, but the mound described above is larger and
more regular than these and has the appearance of a long
barrow.
Surveyed at 1:2500 on M.S.D. (3)
