Monument Number 232469
Hob Uid: 232469
Location : Hampshire Basingstoke and Deane Litchfield and Woodcott
Grid Ref : SU4783056910
Summary : Tree enclosure ring which encroaches slightly on Ladle Hill hillfort; previously thought to represent traces of a barrow.
More information : [SU 4783 5692] At the N.W. corner of the Ladle Hill camp is what I take to be a slight, ditched, round barrow, though it may possibly be only the remains of a small clump of fir trees. Its ditch can be clearly be seen contained over that of the camp, showing that the mound post-dates the camp. (1) Shown and described as "PLANTATION". (2) Clearly visible on OGSC.APs 2138-9/22/96-7 and on the ground as a bank surrounding a small clump of trees which encroaches upon and is later than the IA hill-fort ; this feature is a comparatively modern tree-ring.
