Scheduled Ancient Monument: BOWL BARROW 650M SOUTH EAST OF TELEGRAPH PLANTATION (31103)

The monument includes a bowl barrow located on a gentle south facing slope on the west edge of the King's Forest. The barrow is visible as an earthen mound which stands to a height of about 0.8m and covers a roughly circular area with a maximum diameter of about 32m. It is thought that the mound is encircled by a ditch with an estimated width of 3m from which earth was quarried during the construction of the barrow. Although this has now become completely infilled and is no longer visible, it will survive as a buried feature. The fences which run across the mound, and the surface of the forest track which extends in a north-south direction on the eastern side of the monument are excluded from the scheduling, although the ground beneath them is included.
