Talia's Torque

Bell Barrow in Hampshire. I found this site from a LIDAR scan, and is now visible from the air as the trees have since been cleared. It is almost certainly a Bell Barrow and in very good condition. I can find no evidence of any record of this site and it may be in danger of reforestation and or quarrying and needs protection, which is being sought.

Talia is the little girl who found it and "Torque" because it looks like one from the air. Sprat's Down has 2 such monuments and they need different names; besides, Sprat has a Down named after him and that should be sufficient?

    Re: Talia's Torque by Anonymous on Monday, 12 October 2020
    It shouldn't be Talia as this is an Arabic name and doesn't represent the heritage of such a site. Place names shouldn't be given for clout or notoriety. More to the point torque is confusing because it indicates that there is a gap when this is not the case. On top of all that it sounds like a marvel character. I think the name needs a rethink the second part should be barrow to avoid confusion it's not a Torque and people could easily confuse this with suggesting a torque was found at the site.
