Summary : A Bronze Age bowl barrow survives as earthworks immediately west of the main alignment of the Winterbourne Stoke Crossroads round barrow cemetery (Monument Number 219525). It has an overall diameter of 22m and comprises a low mound, barely 0.5m high, with a summit 7.5m in diameter. The round barrow was excavated in the early 19th century by Sir Richard Colt Hoare, who found that it had been opened previously (Barrow 21: 1812). It was listed as Winterbourne Stoke 11 by Goddard (1913) and as a bowl barrow by Grinsell (1957), although it's original form may have been altered by ploughing. The round barrow was mapped from aerial photographs at a scale of 1:10,000 as part of the RCHME: Salisbury Plain Training Area NMP project and this mapping revised at a scale of 1:2500 for the English Heritage Stonehenge WHS Mapping Project. It was surveyed at a scale of 1:1000 in August 2009 as part of English Heritage's Stonehenge WHS Landscape Project. |
