**Flutters Hill Barrow** submitted by SolarMegalith : Most of the maps and reports point out this mound as a Bronze Age barrow, but one of the earlier Pastscape reports claims it is a natural mound. Indeed, at first glance it might look like part of a ridge cut by the road (photo taken on November 2011). (Vote or comment on this photo)

A large mound of 37 x 30 m dimensions is located 80 m NW from Flutters Hill house, from the east it is cut by the road. According to information on Defra Magic Map this mound is a Bronze Age bowl barrow. However, report on Pastscape says it's a natural mound which could be confused with a barrow, while remains of the real barrow are located more to the south at SU 99186513 (nothing visible out there). The later report corrects it, re-interpreting a large mound as a barrow.

Indeed, at first glance the mound looked like part of a natural ridge for me, but location on slope of the hill could explain this. After all, most of the availible sources point out this mound as site of a bowl barrow.
