Round Barrow(s) in Gloucestershire

A bell barrow situated on the western slopes of the valley of the River Coln.

The barrow survives as a circular mound measuring 26m in diameter and 1.5m high surrounded by a visible berm of 3m wide to the north west and south east surrounded by a 4m wide and from 0.5m up to 1.1m deep quarry ditch from which the construction material was derived and with an outer bank of 6m wide and from 0.3m up to 0.5m high. There is a deep central excavation hollow which produced a central cist and urn containing a cremation, this is on display in the nearby Chedworth Roman villa museum. A blue glass bead is also believed to have originated from this barrow.
