More information : `B' - SU 10784434. Durrington 2; a bowl barrow, 22 paces in diameter. Colt Hoare's barrow 63, previously opened by Cunnington, results not known. (1-2)
Barrow has been destroyed by recent military construction work. Visible on AP (SU 1044/3/59 20-4-68). Published 1:2500 survey revised. (3)
Originally recorded as Durrington 2 by Goddard (4).
The barrow is visible as a slight earthwork on early aerial photographs, and on later photographs, including that cited in authority 3, appears as a faint cropmark. It has been mapped by both RCHME's Salisbury Plain Training Area NMP and EH's Stonehenge WHS Mapping Project. (6-8)
The location of the round barrow referred to above (1-8) was examined in May 2011 as part of English Heritage's Stonehenge WHS Landscape Project - Level 1 survey. There is no trace of the round barrow on the surface: it appears to have been completely destroyed by late-20th century development of the military storage compound. (9) |
