More information : [TL 07150845] Tumulus [G.T.] (1) Unclassified: Tumulus N.W. of High St. Farm. Condition - Fairly Good. (2) This mound, thickly overgrown with holly and thorn, is situated at the W. end of a prominent ridge and measures 28.0 m. N.S. by 24.0m transversely and up to 1.8 m in height, it is surrounded by a shallow ditch but the exact extent of this has been masked by landscape gardening and some marginal encroachment by the Hemel Hempstead New Town. A broad causeway enters onto the E. side of the mound from the line of the ridge but a plaque on the strong iron railing which surrounds the site states that it is an Ancient Monument and an E.B.A. Bowl barrow. Enquiries of the Boro. Engineers Dept. Hemel Hempstead confirmed that it is in the direct care of the Min. Of Works. (3)
