Bind Barrow

Round Barrow(s)

formicaant Sep 8, 2007

A small, low, rather scruffy looking bowl barrow looking out over the channel. It has been badly excavated, at least once in the past. It is on national trust land near the village of Burton Bradstock.

Details of barrow on Pastscape

A bowl barrow, known as Bind Barrow, which is situated in a prominent position on top of a hill close to the cliff edge. The barrow has a mound 17 metres in diameter and approximately 0.6 metres high. Surrounding the mound is a quarry ditch from which material to construct the mound was derived. Over the years this has become infilled but will survive as a buried feature 2 metres wide. The mound has been dug into and damaged probably by wartime activities leaving it uneven and mishapen with a circular area of concrete on the top. Scheduled.

‘Drive by’ 14.10.12

The Barrow is easily seen from the B3157 near the village of Burton Bradstock.

Although it is a N.T. site there is nowhere to park on the B3157.
The O/S map shows a parking area near Burton Beach and a permissive footpath leading to the south of the Barrow.
Due to time constraints I had to settle for a ‘drive by’.

The Barrow looks to be well mangled and is approximately 10 metres across x 1 metre high.
