Monument record WSW 208 - An undated mound possibly relating to a Bronze Age Barrow.

Please read our .

Summary

An undated mound is seen as an earthwork on aerial photographs and visualised lidar data. The mound can be seen as a low earthwork on the visualised lidar data and is partially seen as an earthwork on the aerial photographs under a tree. The mound is approximately 25 meters in diameter and it is possible that this feature may relate to a Bronze Age Barrow. The mound is in close proximity to a further possible Bronze Age Barrow (WRW 059) and a scheduled barrow (WSW 013) to the west. The mound is also in-between two sections of probable post medieval boundary bank to the north and south (WSW 049). It is also possible that this feature may be natural in origin.
