Scheduled Ancient Monument: BOWL BARROW 250M SOUTH-WEST OF TANGHAM COTTAGES IN TANGHAM FOREST (21252)

The monument includes a bowl barrow which consists of an earthen mound and an encircling ditch. The barrow mound covers an area 17m in diameter and stands to a maximum height of 1m. The surrounding ditch, from which earth was dug and used in the construction of the mound, has for the most part become filled-in, but survives as a buried feature and is visible on the south-east side of the mound as a slight depression measuring 4m wide and 0.25m deep. In 1987 two sherds of Bronze Age pottery were found in the soil cast up from a recent trench 2.7m long, 0.9m wide and 1.2m deep which had been dug without consent into the summit of the mound. This trench has now been refilled.
