Stoke Park Long Barrow
Stoke Park Long Barrow submitted by dooclay : NW end of the Longbarrow looking SSE. (Vote or comment on this photo)
Bristol City (County of Bristol) Know Your Place Website mentions that a Dr H Taylor observed an earthwork feature 125 east of Romney Avenue in 1946. Taylor interpreted the mound as a longbarrow, orientated from NW to SE. It was higher at the SE end and traces of a ditch remained.

The remains appear to have been damaged and are much overgrown, particularly in summer.

and Bristol KYP describes it as a Post Medieval garden feature, the provenance of many sites here is questionable - Poles Wood East Long Barrow for example is not even recognised to exist as a feature - post-medieval or otherwise yet its still here and Rollestone Menhir is listed as Post - Medieval?

This is from the Bristol & Avon Archaeology journal volume 8, 1989:

"As well as relict field boundaries, Stoke Park contains the remains of several "pillow-moulds", banks thrown up to encourage colonisation by rabbits, and probably dating from soon after the construction of Stoke House in the late 16th century. "

"Some 300m to the north-west, on the crest of the Purdown ridge, is another probable pillow-mould, running NW-SE and approximately 20m long, with a shallow ditch enclosing its squared northern end (ST 61327728; Fig. 2,F). This feature is one of a number of earthworks on Purdown which were claimed as prehistoric by members of the University of Bristol Speleological Society in the l 940's (Crook & Tratman 1948, 48-9) and is still shown on Ordnance Survey maps as a Neolithic "long barrow". Extensive excavation by the Folk House Archaeological Club in 1954- 5 (O'Neil & Grinsell 1960, 68) and by R. Iles & V. Russett in 1984/5 (Iles & White 1986, 53-55) has, however, dis- proved this interpretation and indicated a post-medieval date for the earthwork. The mound was in existence by 1725 and is shown as a tree-covered "Tump" on Samuel Cook's plan of 1749 (GRO D2700 QP 15/7)"

So just some old rabbit warrens that some over-excited people thought were ancient barrows back in the day.
