ROUND BARROWS M AND N
Description:
Round Barrow
Period:
Bronze Age (2800 – 800 BC)
Original status:
Only known from aerial photographs. Two single
ditched round barrows m diameter. The original height
is unclear but was probably around m. It is not known of
what form the burials were. They could have been either
inhumations or cremations, there may have been grave
goods and there may have been primary and secondary
internments. It is likely, considering the positioning of
these barrows, close to the Central Henge and the
Cursus, that these were significant burials of important
individuals.
