Monument record MDO37337 - Round barrow c 525 metres north west of Swan Way Copse, Shapwick

A plough-levelled Bronze Age round barrow faintly visible as a circular annular cropmark on aerial photographs dated 2005. It was digitally plotted from aerial photographs during the Dorset Middle Stour Catchment AI&M Project. The record for this monument has been created with support from Wessex Water.

A ring ditch faintly visible as a cropmark on air photographs taken July 25th 2001. Circa 17 metres in diameter, it lies 3 metres east of ring ditch ST 90 SW 130, the latter lying at the northeastern end of a ne-sw line of 5 ring ditches. It is very faint as a cropmark, and needs confirmation from further photography. It is also bisected by a north-south linear which presumably represents a field boundary. (1)

The site of a plough-levelled round barrow 14m across is visible as a cropmark ring ditch. It was digitally plotted from aerial photographs during the Dorset Middle Stour Catchment AI&M Project (1).
