Details of mound on Pastscape

Monument No. 212099

Possible mound in Bowood Park. It may be a barrow but was not included identified as such by Grinsell, or ornamental mound. Field investigations in 1968 located several slight irregularities in the area but none were definitely identified as the mound.

(ST 97126902) Mound (TI) (1)
This mound may be of one of those 'in and about Bowood' which the Earl of Kerry (2) thought might be ornamental mounds or
barrows. It is not listed by Grinsell in U.C.H.,Wilts.,1,1957. (2)
There are several slight irregularities in the area indicated but none can definitely be identified as the mound. (3)
