Date Added: 25th Jun 2012
Site Type: Barrow Cemetery
Country: England (Hampshire)
Visited: Would like to visit
Seven Barrows (Hampshire) submitted by wiztwas on 29th Aug 2005. Only four barrows that can be seen from the north bound A34. The first and biggest is spoilt by not only the road noise, but also the high voltage powerlines crackling overhead.
The other three barrows can not be seen from this side.
You can see one of the others, on the other side of the road, from the road.

Normandy Down submitted by paulcall on 31st Oct 2006. A view of the delapidated easterly entrance grave looking north towards St Martin's.

Nornour
Date Added: 25th Jun 2012

Visited: Would like to visit
Nornour submitted by Thorgrim on 4th Nov 2003. The island of Nornour (SV 944147) is less than four acres in size and is joined to Great Ganilly at low tide. Yet the excavations of the early '70's revealed the remains of a major settlement which was occupied from the middle of the Bronze Age to the Romano-British Iron Age.
