Durrington 16 (Goddard)
Hob Uid: 937768
Location : Wiltshire Durrington
Grid Ref : SU1190044100
Summary : A Bronze Age round barrow survives as earthworks and forms part of the Durrington Down round barrow cemetery (Monument Number 219633). 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. To the north of the barrow mound the ditch appears to join that surrounding Durrington 17 and 17a to the east (Monument Numbers 937778 and 937980). Colt Hoare found nothing during excavation in the early 19th century, but noted that the barrow had been opened before (Barrow 75). Goddard simply lists the barrow and Grinsell includes it in his list of bowl barrows (both as Durrington 16). The round barrow was surveyed at 1:1,000scale by English Heritage in 2010 as part of the Stonehenge WHS Landscape Project.
More information : `C' - SU 11904410 Durrington 16, a bowl barrow 45ft in diameter, 3.5ft high (1). Excavations by Colt Hoare (Barrow 75) found it had been opened previously, no records of any finds.

(6-8) 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)
