**Lugden Barrow** submitted by JimChampion : Two-photo composite image of Lugden Barrow - the "vague mound" is in there somewhere beneath the gorse and heather. The pine trees beyond are part of the Dur Hill Inclosure. (Vote or comment on this photo)

Bronze Age round barrow in Hampshire, more recently used as a boundary mound.

The parish boundary between Ringwood (to the west) and Burley (to the east) follows a straight line between the Knaves Ash barrow and this site, Lugden Barrow. It is a good example of prehistoric mounds being used to define more modern boundaries - and here the boundary crosses the 'wasteland' of heath and bog, part of which is now recognised as a National Nature Reserve. To the west there is another barrow on the Ringwood/Sopley parish boundary, at grid reference SU18170071.

The Hampshire Treasures online resource describes this barrow as "A vague mound 13.0 m in diameter and 0.4 m high." [source]

The barrow mound has a small boundary stone set into it (inscribed with an upwards-pointing arrow).

Access The site is easy to locate, being at the only bend in the western boundary fence of the Dur Hill Inclosure. Use an OS map, but bear in mind that the description "a vague mound" is entirely accurate.
