Ludgershall 1

This barrow, although the larger of the two barrows, didn’t seem to have the energy of the smaller one. The rutted track made by the MOD traffic runs between the barrow and the Iron-Age Earthwork. This track has cut into the edge of the barrow but apart from this, the barrow is well defined. Records indicate that “a recent hollow in the centre of the mound” is noted in 1926, although no record exists of the contents. The “army triangulation point, concreted into the top” noted in 1972 has also been removed.
