Barrow Cemetery in Hampshire
Two Neolithic long barrows and a Bronze Age bowl barrow just surviving in South Wonston.
South Wonston East (SU474361) is a long barrow 110m long, 24m wide and up to 1.6 metres high; it is situated in private gardens and fields. South Wonston West (SU472360) is a long barrow 97m long and tapers from 20m wide at its NE end to 10m at its SE end; it is also situated in private gardens and bisected by a road. The bowl barrow is 24m in diameter and under half a metre high.
The most interesting find at these sites was a greenstone adze originating from Great Langdale in Cumbria.
