Full Description
A bowl barrow visible as a cropmark on air photographs. Part of a small group on Thickthorn Down, it is located a short distance north of the linear feature ST 91 SE 1. It appears to be identifiable with the barrow recorded by the Ordnance Survey as "A" in ST 91 SE 46, although there is some discrepancy in the grid reference.
This barrow was originally recorded as part of ST 91 SE 46
