Description

A barrow dug into in the 19th century and situated 'about ΒΌ mile E. of Pimperne Long Barrow', contained an extended inhumation, probably primary, with 'fragments of a rude urn' at its side, covered by a cairn of flints. Above the cairn was a pot containing a hoard of Constantinian coins. The barrow was destroyed in the building of Blandford Camp.
