Bigbury Tumuli
Bigbury Tumuli submitted by Bladup : Bigbury Tumuli, Looking over the slight central mound the the eastern one in the distance, They're nearly ploughed out but are now thankfully left alone. (Vote or comment on this photo)
Barrow Cemetery in Devon

Group of two plough-damaged round barrows and a long barrow.
Pastscape says - The Western mound is probably the remnant of a long barrow. It is of tapering form with the South-West end 37.5m wide and 0.4m high. The North-East end is 22m wide and 0.2m high, and the total length is 60m. A cropmark at the South-Wset end is probably that of a burial chamber; a flint core of Neolithic or Early Bronze age date has been found in the area of the cropmark.
The central mound is a bowl barrow between 29m and 34m in diameter and 0.8m high. The Eastern mound is slightly oval,between 43.5m and 50m in diameter and 1.7m high. The group is scheduled and now thankfully no longer ploughed.
