A small bowl barrow and a larger saucer barrow at the side of a field. Easy access from the bridleway down the edge of the field for a quick look. Hooray for the landowner here who has left the scheduled monuments alone. Having said that they have suffered in the past, but you can still make out the dimensions of it all. The arrangement is unusual in that the bowl barrow was raised second and overlapped the edge of the saucer barrow.

Now I don't know which of the Crawley parish barrows this refers to, but...
LV Grinsell, "Dorset Barrows" 1959 p. 68, under "Use as repositories for votive offerings and concealment of hoards": "...a find of a small hoard of Iron Age currency-bars has been reported from a barrow near Crawley, not far from Winchester (Hants)."
