BOWL BARROW 220 M SOUTH OF THE LIMES
Type and Period (1)
- BOWL BARROW (Bronze Age - 2200 BC to 801 BC)
Protected Status/Designation
Full Description
THE BARROW IS VISIBLE AS AN EARTHEN MOUND APPROXIMATELY 27 M IN DIAMETER AND STANDING ABOUT 2 M HIGH. THE MOUND IS ENCIRCLED BY A DITCH WHICH IS WATERLOGGED IN ITS LOWEST LEVELS. LATER CULTIVATION AROUND THE BARROW HAS CAUSED A BUILD UP OF SOIL ON THE NORTH AND EAST SIDE OF THE DITCH, FORMING A SLIGHT RIDGE WHICH IS INCLUDED IN THE SCHEDULING. THE FACT THAT THIS RIDGE IS RESPECTED BY THE LATER AGRICULTURAL USE OF THE AREA SHOWS THAT THE MOUND HAS REMINED A FEATURE IN THE LOCAL LANDSCAPE FOR SOME CONSIDERABLE TIME. THE SCHEDULING INCLUDES A 2 METRE BOUNDARY AROUND THE ARCHAEOLOGICAL FEATURES. THE FIELD BOUNDARY TO THE WEST AND ENCLOSURE FENCES ON THE EAST ARE EXCLUDED. {1} THERE IS A SECOND BARROW IMMEDIATELY TO THE NORTH WEST (SAM 21471; PRN 34842). THESE TWO MOUNDS MAY HAVE BEEN USED AS ARCHERY BUTTS AT A LATER DATE (SEE 32844; 32845).
