Description

The monument includes a bowl barrow located on a low hill in the King's Forest, 1.3km north east of Wideham Barn. The barrow is visible as an earthen mound which stands to a height of about 1.2m 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.
