Damaged Bronze Age Barrows in Denbighshire (Sir Ddinbych)
A group of three barrows (NPRN 306657 306658 & 306659).
306657 is an irregular oval mound, possibly a natural feature, 39m by 32m and 1.5m to 2.7m high." 306658 has been ploughed down, surviving as a low mound 13m in diameter and 0.7m high. Excavation in 1955 revealed a central in-urned cremation, two secondary cremations and a small bone pommel. A socketed iron axehead, thought to be Iron Age, was recovered from the surface soil." 306659 has been ploughed out and survives as a low mound 20m in diameter and 0.7m high. Excavation in 1956 demonstrated the presence of a central cremation, with urn fragments, within a pseudo-cist, as well as a possible secondary cremation." Source: Coflein.
