Barrow Cemetery in Berkshire

A Bronze Age barrow cemetery at Inkpen Hill includes remains of 3 aligned bowl barrows and one larger bowl barrow called Oswaldes Berghe. The bowl barrows are located on slope of Inkpen Hill and are in poor condition, hovewer their circular shapes are still distinguishable, as well as traces of a quarry ditch of the middle barrow.

To reach the barrow cemetery you have to follow the footpath leading west from Inkpen long barrow. The bowl barrows are not easy to find (I recommend an aerial photo from Pastscape), Oswaldes Berghe is more obvious - it's located on edge of the forest.
