Monument record MDO5832 - Bowl barrow, Long Crichel

A bowl barrow located to the west of Thickthorn Wood, one of a roughly linear group of three located just on the Long Crichel side of the parish boundary with Tarrant Hinton. RCHME fieldwork described it as a mound 40 feet in diameter and 1 foot high, damaged by a modern track.

'(31) Bowl (95701229), damaged by a modern track; diam. 40 ft., ht. 1 ft'. <2>

Note:
Three barrows were originally recorded under the NMR ST 91 SE 40. Subsequently two of the barrows have since been allocated their own NMRs: ST 91 SE 164 and ST 91 SE 165 (this barrow). The third barrow has kept the NMR ST 91 SE 40.
