(SW 73664692) Tumulus (NR) (1)

A 90 ft diameter barrow recorded by Thomas as being one of three
known as 'Two Barrows'. Between the two larger barrows (see also
SW 74 NW 8) was one of 25 ft diameter, sited by Warner to
SW 73624694. (2-3)

A 2.4m high bowl barrow. It is not possible to exactly delineate
the base because road making materials have been dumped around
the barrow.

Resurveyed at 1:2500.

There is no trace of a barrow at SW 73624694, though a slight
natural undulation to the west may have been mistaken for one. (4)
