Round Barrow in Buckinghamshire
From Pastscape:
" A small Bowl Barrow located on Bacombe Hill. The circular mound measures 10m in diameter and 0.6m high. There is no evidence of a quarry ditch, and the mound is believed to be of 'scraped' construction, using turf and topsoil from the surrounding area. "
