Whitehouse Burial Mound

Archaeology

A well-defined Bronze Age barrow within the southern corner of a field which has been ploughed for many years. The barrow is sited on the lip of a natural rise and is 17.0 metres diameter with a height of 0.8 metres. It is well-defined on its south and east sides but merges with the natural slopes on the northwest. There are no indications of a ditch. Funerary urns were reportedly found here and the findspot is marked on the 1869 1:2500 scale Ordnance Survey map, but their present whereabouts are unknown.
