Round Barrow(s) in Dorset
From Pastscape:
"A bowl barrow on Blandford Race Down. The barrow mound measures 17 metres in diameter and 2 metres high and is surrounded by a ditch which can still be seen on the north and north eastern sides. A hollow in the top of the mound may indicate past excavation."
