One of a number in the area, this bowl barrow is close to Emborough and is possibly believed to date back to the Bronze Age. It is about 32m in diameter and 2.5m high, with evidence of a berm surrounding it. The trees have shielded the outline somewhat. See Image] for another barrow north of this one.
