Scheduled Ancient Monument: BOWL BARROW ON BLAXHALL COMMON (21263)

The monument includes a bowl barrow, situated on heathland above the River Alde, which lies 750m to the north east. The barrow is visible as an earthen mound standing to a height of 1.2m and covering a circular area 30m in diameter. On top of the mound, two overlapping hollows, both approximately 5m in diameter and respectively 0.9m and 0.65m in depth, mark the site of old explorations. One or both of these may have been created in 1827, when Roman urns are said to have been found here.
