**Culverswell Barrow** submitted by michaelpeer : Culverswell Barrow (Vote or comment on this photo)

This previously unrecorded Surrey barrow was discovered by me in 1979 by the analysis of a possible midwinter sunset alignment through the Hog's Back Barrow, viewed from Whitmoor Barrow in Worplesdon.

This alignment passes through the ancient site, with a possible recumbent stone. of Wanborough Church, and finishes at Crooksbury Barrows. Culverswell Barrow was found to be precisely on this line in a forest of pines. The pines have now been felled and the barrow is revealed as shown in the photographs.

It has been verified by Surrey Archaeology and added to their HER register. You can find full details of the barrow and alignment on my website Surrey's Ritual Landscape and navigate to the Crooksbury Line entry.
