Brentmoor Heath Barrows Round Barrow(s) View all content for Brentmoor Heath Barrows

Hard to distinguish, mainly overgrown with heather. Live badger set into largest barrow. More impressive when there than in photograph. Close to Chobam Ridge - sarcen occurs here naturally. Wildife Trust sign says "Bronze Age Burial Mounds... 4,000 yrs of human history....these are bowl barrows.... unusual to find 4 together and this is the only example in Surrey...built at same time because traces of a ditch survive which surrounds the barrows. Not many burial mounds in Surrey have survived so well." Recumbant Sarcen (rough size 5' x 4' x 18') A spectacular place to visit! notes by Collette
