Country: England (Dorset)
Visited: Yes on 9th Jun 2013. My rating: Condition 4 Ambience 4
Oakley Down Barrows submitted by JimChampion on 9th Apr 2005. April 2005. Looking north at four of the bowl barrows in the Oakley Down cemetery from the Ackling Dyke bridleway. These barrows are aligned along an east-west axis from SU016170 to SU018170 at the south of the cemetery. They were excavated by Sir Richard Hoare (an antiquarian in search of antiquaries) in 1803 and yielded cremations.

Probably a later site than the impressive tomb not far off. This was probably a boiling place, where hot stones were placed in water to cook.
