Leodest Burial Mound

Archaeology

A ditchless, grass-covered bowl barrow which measures 10.0 metres north to south by 7.0 metres and is 1.2 metres high. It has been clipped by the plough and damaged by sheep rubbing into the sides of the mound.  It was described as being damaged as early as 1895. The mound has been subject to excavation by Dr Larch S. Garrad and evidence of funerary urns and human bones has been recorded here.
