The Bronze Age round barrow referred to above (1-8) survives as earthworks centred at SU 1191 4410. It measures a maximum overall diameter of 20m and comprises a central circular mound circa 0.6m high which is partially surrounded by a shallow ditch, 4m wide and 0.2m deep. The top of the mound measures 5.5m in diameter and the base is 13m. The ring ditch is not clearly visible south-east of the barrow mound, although on the northern side it appears to join that surrounding Durrington 17 and 17a to the east (Monument Numbers 937778 and 937980). The round barrow was surveyed at 1:1,000scale by English Heritage in 2010 as part of the Stonehenge WHS Landscape Project. (9-10)
