| Summary : A Bronze Age round barrow survives as earthworks immediately west of the main alignment of the Winterbourne Stoke Crossroads round barrow cemetery (Monument Number 219525). It has an overall diameter of 26.5m and comprises a low mound, 0.5m high, with a summit 8m in diameter. It has been damaged by ploughing and fencing placed over its eastern side. The barrow was excavated in the early 19th century by Sir Richard Colt Hoare, who found it "unproductive" (Barrow 24: 1812). It was listed as Winterbourne Stoke 7a by Goddard (1913) and as a bowl barrow by Grinsell (1957). The barrow was mapped from aerial photographs at a scale of 1:10,000 as part of the RCHME: Salisbury Plain Training Area NMP project and this mapping revised at a scale of 1:2500 for the English Heritage Stonehenge WHS Mapping Project. The round barrow was surveyed at a scale of 1:1000 in August 2009 as part of English Heritage's Stonehenge WHS Landscape Project. |
