A series of Bowl barrows that stretch in a line over Kingsdown ridge, over looking Box Valley.

One barrow was excavated by Shaw Mellor in 1934. Finds included calcined bone, along with the remains of more than ten human individuals, much intrusive material and a sherd from a collared urn.

Possible Iron Age sherds were also uncovered (ST 81396777)
