Four bowl barrows in a row, the two central ones overlapping.
They vary from 80 to 100 ft. in diameter and from 5 to 6 ft. in
height. (2)
A group of bowl barrows situated on elevated, semi-wooded
heathland at 'A' SU 9341-6133, 'B' SU 9343 6134 and 'C'
SU 93466136. They vary in diameter from 25.0m to 30.0m and
average 2.2m in height. 'A' and 'B' are contained within a
single ditch and 'C' is also ditched. The ditches are
fragmentary on the N side. The central mound 'B' now has the
appearance of a single barrow. The barrows which have a few trees
and bushes growing on them, have been much mutilated by the
digging of army slit trenches and by a vehiclular track which
runs the length of the group. Published 1/2500 survey revised. (3)
A contour survey of the site is shown on page 14, and the 4 barrows are listed. (4) |
