Round Barrow(s) in Hampshire. Abra Barrow is a Bronze Age bowl barrow located SW from Overton, on top of the hill near Turrill Hill farm. Currently it is 1,8 m high and the remains of its surrounding ditch are still distinguishable. Unfortunately, the southern side of the barrow is slightly damaged by the rabbit holes. It is one of the most impressive barrows I have seen in this area.

The bowl barrow is located very close to the footpath south from Turrill Hill Farm - there is no way you can miss it, you will see it on the top of a hill on your left. Ask the landowner for permission to enter the field, he is a very kind and friendly person, on his land there are also remains of further 2 bowl barrows.
