Round Barrows in Wiltshire
"Three Bronze Age bowl barrows situated 250 metres north east of Shepherds Shore on Bishops Cannings Down. All 3 mounds have been reduced by cultivation. The southern most barrow was excavated in the 1850s when a crouched female skeleton was found. Faint traces of all three round barrows are visible on aerial photographs. Scheduled."
