There are two bowl barrows scheduled by Historic England in this immediate vicinity:
1. Bowl barrow in Long Plantation, 680m NE of Starved Oak Cross at SX 91821 99200, and
2. Bowl barrow in Long Plantation, 610m NE of Starved Oak Cross at SX 91762 99170.
Both the HE entries state: "Th[ese] bowl barrow[s] is[are] one of the best-preserved upstanding examples within the Upton Pyne barrow group, and it has survived without previous archaeological disturbance; tree roots and a badger set affect the barrow to only a limited extent and depth, leaving a high likelihood of intact funerary deposits. The unusual low-lying position of the Upton Pyne barrow cemetery, its good overall preservation, and the quality of the dating, constructional and artefactual information that it has already produced, have all resulted in its frequent mention in national reviews of Bronze Age funerary monuments."
There are another four barrows shown on the HE map (Historic England Map Search, cut and paste co-ordinates below, and reduce scale of map. These four barrows lie to the west of this pair of barrows].
