Image of Whiteshoot Hill (Round Barrow(s)) by UncleRob

Looking NNE from the top of the ridge, towards Danebury, this big barrow and its two smaller companions would have had a commanding position over the land around the Wallops.

Whiteshoot Hill

Round Barrow(s)

UncleRob Dec 28, 2008

A fine place for a walk to burn off yuletide excess. Actually it was bitterly cold in the easterly wind today, but the view, the teeming birds and the barrows more than made up for that. And the enormous lunch on the way back in Stockbridge helped too.

Hampshire Treasures lists three barrows here, one bell and two saucers. The saucers were not obvious to me as the whole area is quite lumpy with old field boundaries and trackways, which makes it really interesting to clamber over. A good place to bring non-antiquarian family members as there’s something for everyone. Having said that, there’s no Primark.

The large barrow here has less distinct berm and ditches on the downhill side, though ploughing seems unlikely on this steep hillside. I make both berm and ditch to be narrow, about 3m each and ditch is no more than a foot depression visible on the surface.
