Monument record TR 04 NE 2 - Burial mound/pillow mound, Coldharbour farm
Summary
A feature identified as a Tumulus called 'Giant's Grave' was located in fields near Coldharbour Farm to the east of Wye. The monument was dug into before 1822 and broken pieces of "an urn or urns" were found. At this site has also been identified a pillow mound, or an artificial warren for rabbits. This feature is oblong in shape and is surrounded by a slight ditch. It has been badly mutilated by recent excavation the spill from which has almost filled the ditch on the north west side. It is unclear whether both a burial mound and a pillow mound existed at this site, whether the pillow mound was built on top of the Tumulus, or whether its earlier identification as a burial mound was inaccurate.
