The barrow from the road which runs past it to the north, it appears to be quite badly damaged, the track it seems used to go straight over it.

Boswell’s Plantation

Round Barrow(s)

formicaant Mar 7, 2011

This is a single round barrow south of the group in Puddletown Forest which in cludes the Rain barrows. It is situated on farmland, north of Boswell’s Plantation, just off the heathland which used to stretch all the way to the New Forest. Just off a farm track, it is on private land and can be seen from the road and from the large round barrow south of the Rainbarrows. It appears to be in fair condition and of medium size.
The hedgerow goes over the middle of the barrow.
