| Summary : A Bronze Age pond barrow survives as earthworks at the north-eastern end of the secondary alignment of the Winterbourne Stoke Crossroads round barrow cemetery (Monument Number 219525). It has an overall diameter of 29.5m and comprises a bank, 6m wide, which forms a complete ring around a circular hollow, 0.5m deep and 16m in diameter, with a floor circa 9m in diameter. A concrete block near the centre is marked 'A.M. No2' and was probably inserted by the military in the early 20th century. There is no record of any excavations, although it was included as barrow 20 by Sir Richard Colt Hoare (1812) and listed as Winterbourne Stoke 12 by Goddard (1913) and by Grinsell (1957). The round 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. It was surveyed at a scale of 1:1000 in August 2009 as part of English Heritage's Stonehenge WHS Landscape Project. |
