Hob Uid: 457537
Location : Dorset Studland
Grid Ref : SZ0143082100
Summary : Possible remains of a bowl barrow, though it may be a natural feature.
More information : (SZ 01438210) Thorny Barrow (Tumulus) (NR) (1) Thorny Barrow, destroyed. Quarried away before 1939.

This mound might possibly have been the result of a natural geological formation as seen in similar mounds in the proximity (see SZ 08 SW 11, 43 and 44). (3) (SZ 01438210) Thorny Barrow (NR) (Site of) (4) SZ 01438210. Thorny Barrow, bowl (?)barrow, about 65ft diameter and about 8ft high, on the edge of a broad ridge but almost unrecognisable owing to the encroachment of a large sand pit. (5)
