Barrow Cemetery in Hampshire
From the south west, this Bronze Age cemetery includes a contiguous group of two bowl barrows and a twin bowl barrow, a further twin bowl barrow, and a saucer barrow. The contiguous group have a common quarry ditch, which meant that the barrows were once incorrectly classed as a mutilated long barow. [source]
Just to the west of this group are two bowl barrows (grid refs SU394291 and SU393292).
Access The barrows are very close to the Clarendon Way footpath as it decends westwards into the valley from Farley Mount. Unfortunately they are behind a six-foot deer fence on private woodland.
