Amesbury 9 (Goddard)
Hob Uid: 933206
Location : Wiltshire Amesbury
Grid Ref : SU1207242113
Summary : Bronze Age bowl barrow, listed by Grinsell as Amesbury 9 and part of the barrow group to the south west of Stonehenge recorded as SU 14 SW 88. Excavations by Colt Hoare in the early 19th century were unproductive. Geophysical survey in 1993-4 recorded an irregular sub-circular surrounding ditch with several interruptions in its circuit. The mound itself is extremely mutilated and survives only as vague undulations. The ditch surrounding the barrow is visible as a cropmark on aerial photographs.
More information : `F'- SU 12064210; Amesbury 9, a bowl barrow 56ft wide and 6inches high with a broad ditch. (1) Colt Hoare's excavations (Barrow 22) were unproductive (2). Amesbury 9 has been extremely mutilated and several vague undulations are all that remain. Published 1:2500 survey revised. (3) Originally recorded as Amesbury 9 by Goddard. (4) The barrow's broad perimeter ditch, 25m in diameter, is visible as a cropmark on aerial photographs, and has been mapped by both RCHME's Salisbury Plain Training Area NMP and EH's Stonehenge WHS Mapping Project. (7) Very badly damaged barrow with mutilated earthworks. Geophysical survey shows considerable complexity in the surrounding ditch, suggesting that it might have originated as a henge monument. (8)
