Monument record TR 04 NE 1 - Bronze Age bowl barrow, Broad Downs

Summary

The remains of a Bronze Age bowl barrow is situated in close association with another barrow on the highest point of Broad Downs, 300 metres south of the Firs. The round barrow is approximately 20 - 25 metres in diameter, 1 - 2 metres in height, surrounded by a ditch 2 metres wide. Little trace of the ditch remains and the monument is now under pasture but in relatively good condition apart from a small amount of animal activity. Past ploughing may have effected the condition of the bank and the profile appears slightly spread. This barrow is scheduled as an ancient monument, however a barrow in close association some 500 metres to the north west has been descheduled.
