A group of barrows situated at the Northern end of the Bulford MOD camp.

Many were excavated by William Hawley in the years prior to the first world war. Some barrows were destroyed or much reduced when the Bulford camp was expanded during the 1914-18 war, before any preservation of the monuments was considered.

Later classification of these barrows, on the Wiltshire sites and monuments record, give them under the title of the Sling Plantation Group.
