Fieldnotes

This group of barrows are to the east of the Poor Lot group. The Broad stone is just below them in the valley. Despite the name there appear to be five or six barrows in the group and are sited on the false crest of a hill. They vary in size and appear to be in reasonable condition, this area abounds with barrows of all kinds.
Below the ridge can be seen the bank of a pond barrow close to the A35.

If heading east after passing the Broad Stone along the busy A35 you will easily spot one of the Barrows in a field to your right.

I suspect this is the Pond Barrow?
It is approximately 1 metre high x 5 metres across.
