Four bowl barrows listed, details as above. (5)
A string of four round barrows occupying a prominent position
on a low ridge in heathland.
'A'. This barrow is now submerged under dense, mature gorse
bushes. The mound appears to have been gutted and the area
has been disturbed by exploratory mining pits.
'B'. This round barrow is also covered by mature gorse bushes;
a large pit or shaft has been dug beside the west edge. It
measures about 11.0m in diameter and is approximately 1.1m
high.
'C'. This ditched round barrow is situated on the edge of the
ridge top so part of its mound and ditch lie on a
south-facing slope. It measures from 22.0 to 23.0m overall
and the mound is up to 2.6m high. The ditch at its deepest is
0.7m but it gradually fades to 0.2m on the downhill side.
(c/f SY 98 SW 1. 'b').
