Mr. C.J.S. Green observed the widening of a road serving a new car park of Hardye's School and reports that this revealed the more westerly of the 'Two Barrows', lost since the 19th century. The low mound survives beneath the south side of the road and the northern boundary of the school grounds (SY 69758989). The turf core of the barrow overlain by a spread chalk mound was visible, sealing an old turf line, the estimated diameter of the whole being 14 to 18m. Traces of one or possibly two slight ditches existed on the western side of the mound. The surface beneath the turf core was covered by fresh flint-knapping debris and the core itself produced a fine barbed and tanged arrow head. The other barrow survives as a low mound 35m in diameter in pasture to the east. See also SDO9647
