Details of barrow on Pastscape

[ST 5173 6374] A simple bowl barrow, T36, 72 feet in diameter and 2 1/2 feet high (1). This is said to be a traditional burying place and as recently as 1905 a horse was buried in it. (1-2)
This is a circular mound 0.7m high, at ST 5173 6375. There is a strong local tradition that horses were buried in it, but it is impossible to tell from the appearance of the mound whether it is completely modern or a re-utilised bowl barrow. Surveyed at 1:2500. (3)
