At the summit of the hill overlooking Warminster is this round barrow. It is approximately 3m above ground level and 20m in diameter. The tumulus was excavated in 1809 by William Cunnington and Richard Colt Hoare, two of the area's most eager antiquarians and whose works include Stonehenge. See Image] for another view.
