More information : A rapid examination of air photography (2) suggests the presence of possibly three ring ditches, visible as cropmarks in a field West of Knowlton:- A - SU 01871007 B - SU 01761000 C - SU 01821021 (Least definite of the three, possibly vehicle turning marks). (1-2)
SU 01731000; SU 01831009. Two round barrows, lying south west of the 'Knowlton Circles'. Scheduled. (3)
The three round barrows described by authority 1have been mapped by from aerial photographs EH's Knowlton Circles Project. As a result of that survey, the position and details of the barrows was established more accurately: SU 0185 1009. The largest of the barrows, described as 'A' above. Defined by a single ditch 32m in diameter. Within the area defined by the ring ditch are two short parallel linear ditches which may represent an internal feature or an earlier feature beneath the barrow. They have been recorded separately (SU 01 SW 168). SU 0177 1001. Described as 'B' above. Defined by a single circular ditch 15.9m in diameter. SU 0183 1022. Described as 'C' above. Definde by a single circular ditch 27.3m in diameter. (4)
The barrows described by authority 3 seem to be those described as 'A' and 'B' above. (5)
