Monument record MDO48360 - Undated mound, possible Bronze Age round barrow, Buckland Newton

A sub-circular mound with external ditch to the south of Henley, Buckland Newton, is visible as an earthwork on current Environment Agency lidar imagery. The feature is of uncertain origin but could perhaps be a Bronze Age round barrow, although a later origin is also possible. It was digitally plotted during the Dorset Upper Cerne and Piddle AIM project.
