Full Description
SU 0252 0893. A Bronze Age round barrow is visible as a cropmark on aerial photographs and has been mapped by EH's Knowlton Circles Project. The barrow is defined by a single circular ditch 11.8m in diameter. It is probably associated with the extensive barrow cemetery known as the Knowlton Circles Barrow Group (SU 00 NW 2), although it lies 690m to the southeast of the main concentration of barrows. (1)
