Bowl Barrow, National Stud, Stetchworth
History of bowl barrow
Bowl barrows, the most numerous form of round barrow, are funerary monuments dating from the Late Neolithic period to the Late Bronze Age, with most examples belonging to the period 2400-1500 BC. … The bowl barrow 160m south west of the National Stud clubhouse is very well preserved, in marked contrast to the majority of barrows in the region which are generally only visible on aerial photographs. .. The monument includes a Bronze Age bowl barrow situated immediately to the north of the A 1305, within the grounds of the National Stud. The barrow mound is circular in plan with a rounded profile, measuring 16.5m in diameter and surviving to a height of approximately 0.8m. The mound is encircled by a ditch from which the material was quarried for its construction. This feature
