Round Barrow in Berkshire

A probable Bronze Age bowl barrow in Swinley Forest is located on a ridge, in a corner between two forest footpaths. There is a slight depression at its top and traces of a quarry ditch at its southern side. The monument is covered with trees, the best view is from the west.
