Eglinton Hill, LONDON, SE18 3DY

This is a most unlikely setting for a Bronze Age tumulus - amidst suburban roads on the side of Shooters Hill. This view is looking from Plum Lane and the road on the right is Brinklow Crescent. Fortunately there is a notice explaining that this is an ancient tumulus, otherwise the passer by would assume it is just another small piece of remnant grassland lost in suburbia.

Shrewsbury Barrow is "a substantial earthen mound which survives reasonably well; ... highly representative of the Bronze Age period ... round barrows, particularly surviving in this good a state of preservation, are very rare in London" https://historicengland.org.uk/listing/the-list/list-entry/1430983 . "The last surviving of a group of six. Three of them were known to have formed a linear group, with the remaining two possibly forming or contributing to a second group. The barrows would have been located at the 'false horizon' position where they could be seen silhouetted against the sky from the foot of the hill ... in the mid C19 the barrow stood within the grounds of the mid-C19 Tower House, and it is illustrated with a ring of trees – only some of which remain".
