Texas Barrows
Texas Barrows submitted by SolarMegalith : Northern bowl barrow (photo taken on January 2012). (Vote or comment on this photo)
Round Barrows in Hampshire. These two Bronze Age bowl barrows are located on a field SW from Winchester. Both burial mounds are overgrown and heavily disturbed by badgers, but distinguishable. The site has never been excavated.

The northern barrow (SU 4559 2700) is 2.5 m high and it’s bowl shape is perfectly distinguishable. Unfortunately, it is particularly damaged by badgers.

The southern barrow is in much poorer condition, it is only 1 m high and has 19 m in diameter. It is partly gutted, in it’s central part there is a significant hollow.
