| Summary : A Bronze Age bowl barrow survives as slight earthworks. It has been recorded as part of the Normanton Down (Centre) barrow group (Monument Number 219537) and forms part of the Normanton Down round barrow cemetery (Monument Number 1531088). The round barrow was excavated in the early 19th century by Sir Richard Colt Hoare (Barrow 152), who found that it had been opened previously. The round barrow was listed as Wilsford 10 by Goddard and subsequently by Grinsell. It was surveyed at a scale of 1:1000 in April 2010 as part of English Heritage's Stonehenge WHS Landscape Project. The surviving earthworks comprise a low roughly circular mound which stands 0.2m high. Its top measures circa 6.5m and its base is 9.5m in diameter. |
