Round Barrow(s) in Somerset
From the Somerset HER:
Simple bowl barrow 60ft diameter and 9ft high (T154). When the field and barrow were ploughed it was noted that there were many flint chips on the surface of the barrow although none on the field itself. Above height was in 1926. In 1954 it was only 6ft.
A second barrow (24088) is located 178m to the east.
