The King's Standing

Round Barrow(s)

Fieldnotes

This bump in the grass by the side of Kingstanding Lane, in the district of Kingstanding, is all that remains of the last surviving barrow in Birmingham (that I am aware of).

If it hadn`t been for an incident in comparatively modern history, there`d probably be houses on this one, too.

It's also a scheduled ancient monument:
