Monument record MLI80029 - Bronze Age Bowl Barrow, Cold Harbour Farm, Stenigot
Summary
The westernmost of two probable Bronze Age bowl barrows, to the north-east of Cold Harbour Farm, Stenigot.
Type and Period (1)
- BOWL BARROW ? (Bronze Age - 2200 BC to 801 BC)
Protected Status/Designation
Full Description
Cropmarks of a probable Bronze Age round barrow, to the north-east of Cold Harbour Farm, Stenigot. Visible as a circular enclosure, defined by a single ditch measuring roughly 38m in diameter. Identified on aerial photography examined as part of the National Mapping Programme. {1}
This probable Bronze Age bowl barrow lies on the crest of a north-facing slope, with the remains of a second bowl barrow (see MLI80030) and a Neolithic long barrow (see MLI43185) in close proximity. Although the barrows cannot be seen on the ground, their infilled and buried ditches are visible from the air as cropmarks. This bowl barrow is the larger and the most westerly of the two, measuring about 35m in diameter, and lies approximately 100m to the south-east of the long barrow. {2}
More recent analysis of the aerial photography for this area has cast some doubt on the existence of this feature. No clear definition of a round barrow was seen at this location on aerial photography from 2008 and 2012, which clearly showed other ring ditch-like features in the wider area. It was thought that a roughly circular geological mark at this location may have been the original feature noted in the earlier aerial photography, though this remains uncertain. {3}
