More information : (`F' SU 18234099) Amesbury 81. A bowl barrow 30 paces in diameter height 7ft. Slight ditch; concrete structure on top. (1)

Amesbury 81. A bowl barrow 2.0m high. There is now trace of the ditch or of the concrete structure. The barrow is situated within a field which has recently been ploughed and harrowed. There are no soil marks indicating a ditch but it is probable that, when under pasture it appears to have a ditch because of ploughing close to the base of the barrow forming a slight ploughing headland. The barrow is in good condition. Resurveyed at 1:2500. (2)

This barrow may have contained two ring-headed bone pins and an urn see Amesbury 82 (SU 14 SE 212) for details. (3)

Originally recorded as Amesbury 81 by Goddard. (4)

The barrow is visible as an earthwork on aerial photographs and has been mapped by both RCHME's Salisbury Plain Training Area NMP and EH's Stonehenge WHS Mapping Project. (6-7)
