Grid Ref : SY4799090690
Summary : A bowl barrow on the top of North Hill, 750 metres north east of Marsh Barn. The barrow has a mound which is 20 metres in diameter and 0.8 metres high. Surrounding the mound is a quarry ditch which has become infilled over the years but survives as a buried feature 3 metres wide. Scheduled.
More information : A mound, probably the remains of a barrow, lies on
the west end of North Hill, Burton Bradstock, nearly 1 mile NW
of the church. It is 52 ft. in diameter and 3 ft. high but has
been much disturbed. The fairly large stones in and around the
disturbance indicate the material composing the mound. (1)
