DESCRIPTION

+ / -

The site of a possible small Bronze Age bowl barrow within the Winterbourne Stoke Crossroads round barrow cemetery (Monument Number 219525). It is shown as a small mound on the 1877 Ordnance Survey 6inch map and was first listed as Winterbourne Stoke 2a by Grinsell (1957). A hollow noted on the summit may indicate that it had been excavated. The mound was extant in 1974, when it was described as 8m in diameter and 0.4m high, but was not recognised during field survey of the round barrow cemetery by English Heritage in August 2009 as part of the Stonehenge WHS Landscape Project. It may have suffered damage during widening of the A360.
