Scheduled Ancient Monument: BOWL BARROW 135M SOUTH OF WATERHALL COTTAGE, WICKHAM STREET (31097)

The monument includes a bowl barrow situated towards the south west corner of a field, approximately 40m to the west of a tributary of the River Stour. It is visible as an earthen mound, which stands to a height of about 2m and covers a roughly circular area measuring about 22m in diameter. It is thought that the mound is encircled by a ditch, with an estimated width of 3m, from which earth was quarried during the construction of the barrow, and although this has now become completely infilled and is no longer visible it will survive as a buried feature. The posts encircling the monument are excluded from the scheduling, although the ground beneath them is included.
