Yatesbury Field, East Dorset

Bronze Age round barrows, Yatesbury

Uploader's Comments

Two Bronze Age round barrows can just about be made out here as low lenses of green on the nearest horizon. To the left is a bowl barrow, in which a primary cremation in a tree-trunk coffin was found, which also contained a bronze dagger with two rivets, when it was opened by Merewether in the 1849. http://www.wiltshire.gov.uk/artsheritageandlibraries/museumhistoryheritage/wiltshireandswindonhistoricenvironmentrecord/wshermap.htm?a=d&id=29190
