Cold Barrow

Hob Uid: 457326
Location :
Dorset
Morden
Grid Ref : SY9045095030
Summary : Bowl barrow or natural mound
More information : (Name centred SY 904949) Cold Barrow (NAT) (1)

(SY 90479505) A mound, situated on the highest point of a
prominent knoll shown as a 200ft. contour on OS maps and at its
northern tip. The mound is roughly circular 21ft. in diameter,
2ft. high and 9ft. across its flat top. (2)

The natural knoll probably gave rise to the name Cold Barrow,
which is now densely covered by a fir plantation which could not
be penetrated.

Several natural mounds in the area, typical of the local geology,
have a barrow like appearance, and the mound described in
authority 2 may possibly fall into the same category. (3)

SY 90479505. 'Cold Barrow', bowl (?) barrow. (dimensions as given

SY 90459503. Cold Barrow (name not confirmed), a mound as
described (2), possibly a small barrow. In conifer plantation.
Surveyed at 1:2500 on M.S.D. (5)
