A group of three bowl barrows is located on slope of the hill east from Winchester, SE from Chilcombe. The barrows are heavily mutilated, they might be one of very few Neolithic round barrows.
Barrow A (in older reports named as C) is the most obvious one - it is still 1 m high, there are traces of a quarry ditch around it. Barrows B and C are almost completely leveled, however their area is excluded from plough. The cemetery is easy to reach, follow the public bridleway towards Telegraph Hill (another barrow near the top of it !).
