Looking NNE from Church Street back gardens, Maiden Bradley. This bowl barrow type tumulus or burial mound is located in the corner of a cereal field adjacent to what was once Leather's Coaches garage. English Heritage defines this artifact as follows: 'Bronze Age bowl barrow lying on level ground 100 metres south east of the crossroads in Maiden Bradley. The barrow includes a mound approximately 30 metres in diameter and 1.7 metres high. The mound, which shows signs of a shallow disturbance on its north west side, is surrounded by a quarry ditch which has become infilled over the years but will survive as a buried feature 3 metres wide. Scheduled.' There is another tumuli in Maiden Bradley and one 'mound'. The mound is along Kingston Lane (just before Kingston Cottages, in a field on the left). The other larger tumulus is fenced off and supports a clump of trees at the edge of a grazing field behind Bradley Cottage, Church Street.
