The Bronze Age bowl barrow referred to above (1-8) survives as earthworks centred at SU 1182 4409. It measures a maximum overall diameter of 22.5m and comprises a central circular mound, circa 0.6m high, surrounded by a concentric ring ditch with traces of an outer bank to the north and south, forming a bowl barrow. The top of the mound measures circa 3.5m and the base is 10.5m in diameter. The ring ditch measures 4m wide and 0.3m deep and the out bank measures up to 4m wide and 0.2m high.
The bank to the south extends westwards around the southern side of Durrington 19 (Monument Number 938257). The possible join of the ring ditches around Durrington 19 and this barrow has been damaged by use of the Second World War military trackway (Monument Number 1525191). The round barrow was surveyed at 1:1,000 scale by English Heritage in 2010 as part of the Stonehenge WHS Landscape Project. (9-10)
