Worth Matravers

Round Barrow(s)

formicaant Oct 2, 2007

Two bowl barrows to the north of the village of Worth Matravers. The more northerly of the two is a medium sized bowl shape in the middle of a field. It is in good condition and has a small wind bent blackthorn tree growing out of its north east side. The smaller of the two is to the south west and is low and does not appear to be in very good nick, possibly plough damage?
