Scheduled Ancient Monument: TWO BOWL BARROWS IN RENDLESHAM FOREST, 285M NORTH WEST OF MANOR COTTAGE (21294)

The monument includes two small bowl barrows situated on a low spur immediately to the north of the parish boundary between Capel St Andrew and Hollesley. The two barrows, which are adjacent on a north-south alignment, are both visible as earthen mounds. The northern mound, which is encircled by a ditch, is well defined on the north and west sides and stands to a height of approximately 0.7m, covering a circular area approximately 9m in diameter. The ditch, from which earth was dug during construction of the barrow, has become largely infilled but survives as a buried feature, marked on the western side of the mound by a slight hollow approximately 3m wide and 0.15m deep in the ground surface. The second barrow, 3m to the south of the first, is truncated on the south side by an east-west footpath which follows the parish boundary. Approximately 70% of the mound survives, standing to a height of 0.7m and covering a sub-circular area measuring approximately 6m northsouth, with a maximum diameter of 9m east-west.
