**Stanway Bowl Barrows** submitted by 4clydesdale7 : The pair of Bowl Barrows from the SE just above Stumps Cross (Vote or comment on this photo)

A pair of Bowl Barrows aligned NW-SE standing over Coscombe about 1m SE of the delightful Cotswold Village of Stanway.

Close to Stumps Cross, there are beautiful views to the NW. The Barrows have suffered badly over time from the plough, the field within which they lie is known as 'Bone Yard Ground'. The northerly barrow is 20m diameter and about 0.6m high, the southerly is a little smaller 18m diameter and 0.5m high -

Just 200m to the SE lies the crossroads (known as Stumps Cross) of a Saltway and an ancient trackway between Tewkesbury and Stow-on-the-Wold - on the roadside verge by the footpath leading past the barrows is the base of an Ancient Wayside Cross
