Barrow Cemetery in Surrey. A group of five barrows noted by Rev C Kerry in 1870. Kerry excavated three of the group (HER 1599, 2195 and 2197) but left this one, and HER 2194 because they showed signs of earlier disturbance.
Visited by Grinsell in 1931 but then scarcely visible under rhododendron and other shrubs.
Part of Scheduled Monument 20174. A field visit by Aldsworth in 1966 failed to detect this barrow but area then was densely overgrown with rhododendron bushes and the three visible features (HER 2194, 2195 and 2196) which could be interpreted as possible Bronze Age barrows were unsurveyable. On the 1st Edition OS 25" map it is shown as part of a larger feature incorporating HER 2194. Present condition not known due to the density of undergrowth.
