Full Description
1935: Large bowl barrow, marked on OS 1 inch map 1838 (S1).
1962: This feature is situated on a slight ridge in an area well endowed with bowl barrows. It measures approx 20m in diameter and 0.8m high, no trace of a ditch. Under cultivation at time of visit and supporting a much poorer crop than the surrounding ground. It is probably a bowl barrow (S2).
1977: 0.29m high, 17m diameter, under plough at edge of field near road (S3).
A probable bowl barrow of Bronze Age date is visible as an earthwork on Brightwell Hearh, on aerial photographs of the 1940s onwards, Foxhall parish. It appears to be circa 17 metres in diameter, but by the 1970s is much eroded (S4, S5).
