Monument record MDO4007 - Barrow on Ibberton Hill, Ibberton
Please read our guidance about the use of Dorset Historic Environment Record data.
Summary
A bowl barrow on Ibberton Hill, 250 metres south of Baker's Folly. The barrow has a mound 1 metre high and 17 metres in diameter. It is now slightly elongated due to erosion caused by a track which clips its eastern edge. A small depression in the centre of the mound suggests partial excavation. Surrounding the mound is a quarry ditch which has become infilled over the years and now survives as a buried feature 2 metres wide.
