Please read our guidance about the use of Dorset Historic Environment Record data.
Summary
A bowl barrow on the edge of a low hill 250 metres north east of Monmouth's Ash Farm. The barrow has a mound which is 10 metres in diameter and 1 metre high. Surrounding the mound is a quarry ditch from which material was excavated during its construction. This has become infilled over the years but survives as a buried feature 2 metres wide. This is possibly one of the barrows on Horton Heath from which urns were recovered but there are no possible signs of excavation on the mound.
