Monument record MDO2861 - Mound, West Knighton

SY 73848959 A grass covered ditchless mound which measures 14.0m east to west, and 10.0m north to south with a height of 0.5m. It is mis-shapen, and its proximity to a gateway on the north has perhaps caused this. A possible, though rather doubtful bowl barrow. <1>

SY 73828960 A mound with an approximate diameter of 13.0m and height of 0.5m in arable on a gentle north-facing slope. Though not in a typical barrow position the mound does have the appearance of a ploughed-down bowl barrow, especially when viewed from the east. Published Survey (1:2500) revised on MSD. <3>
