Description

The monument includes the bell barrow known as White Hill, which is situated on a gentle WSW facing slope towards the north west corner of Brandon Park. The barrow is visible as a large oval earthen mound, which stands to a height of approximately 3m. It measures about 75m north east-south west by 57m north west-south east, and is surrounded by a berm up to 22m wide and a ditch. The ditch, from which earth was dug and used in the construction of the mound, has become partly infilled but is marked by a hollow up to 22m wide and 1m deep. The barrow, including the berm and the ditch, measures approximately 147m north east-south west by 136m north west-south east. A forest ride crosses the barrow in a north west-south east direction and has cut into the mound to a depth of 2m. The surface of the ride is excluded from the scheduling, although the ground beneath it is included.
