NR. RODMEAD WOOD
NEOLITHIC OVAL BARROW
ST 82363565. [Nr. Rodmead Wood] Bronze Age oval barrow lying on the crest of a south west facing slope above a complex of steep sided dry valleys. The barrow includes an oval mound 23 metres long and a maximum of 16 metres wide, aligned with the direction of the slope. The mound, which tapers gently towards its north eastern end, reaches a maximum height of 1.3 metres immediately south west of its central point. The sides of the mound and its north eastern end are flanked by ditches from which material for its construction was quarried. These have become largely infilled and can now be seen as slight hollows although they also survive as buried features approximately 3 metres wide. Scheduled.
