(2,3) A grass and tree-covered long barrow, 50.0m long, 21.0m wide and 1.4m high in the south east which is the higher end; the western end merges gradually into the surrounding ground. (4) SY 637923. Bradford Peverell Long Barrow 1 listed by Ashbee. (5) A long barrow, 54.0 metres long and 15.5 metres across, of which the ENE side is a distinct slope 8.0 metres long and 1.2 metres high at the North end, fading to 0.4 metres at the south end. The other side, visible for only 26.0 metres, is an ill-defined slope about 3.0 metres long and 0.3 metres high. There are no side ditches. The barrow, grass covered and in a thinned plantation, must have been bulldozed to some extent. Its size bears no resemblance to former records (2 to 4) and the current plan is unlike that published on the OS 25" 1959, which depicts a broad south-east end.
