Round Barrow(s) in Shropshire

"The earthwork remains of a bronze Age bowl barrow, part of a group of barrows in Old Field. The mound is extant as an earthwork 30 metres in diameter and 4.7 metres high. There is no trace of any surrounding ditch. The barrow is scheduled as an ancient monument. Excavation in 1884 recovered cremated human bones and a fragment of a bronze spearhead from the body of the mound. A Bronze Age "cinerary urn" in Ludlow Museum is said to come from this barrow, but is more likely to have come from the barrow recorded as SO 47 NE 11. The barrow was seen as an earthwork and mapped from aerial photogtaphs."
