Monument record TR 04 NE 9 - Possible Saxon barrow, The Junipers, Wye with Hinxhill
Summary
A round barrow on Wye Downs in the wood called "The Junipers" was excavated in 1939 after two human bones were discovered at the site. Only a few more human bones were found and no pottery or any other grave goods making it difficult to accurately date the barrow. The feature is situated on a narrow ridge and measures 12.5m. in diameter and up to 1.3m. in height. There is no trace of a ditch. Its small size and proximity to an accepted Saxon barrow, suggests that this also is Saxon. Approximately 50m to the south east along the ridge there are a few vague mounds possibly the remains of further barrows.
