From SolarMegalith: Barrow cemetery of Holden's Firs is located in western part of Mortimer village. It's main part are two large Bronze Age bell barrows. North from them there are heavily damaged remains of a bowl barrow and small disc barrow. SE from the main part of the cemetery, between houses, there's one more well-preserved bowl barrow.
