Description
Round Barrow on northern side of Warren Hill, Hengistbury Head excavated by Bushe-Fox in 1911 (Barrow II). No description of the excavation is given. The mound was composed largely of sand and at least one urn was found below the level of the old ground surface. No central burial was recovered, but at least seven ?secondary burials were found in the western half of the mound and eight small areas of burnt material, perhaps representing unurned cremations were also discovered. <3>
