Image of Ibberton Hill (Round Barrow(s)) by GLADMAN

Dawn, looking westwards from Ibberton Hill, munching my Coco Pops. There’s a round barrow here... if you can find it.

Ibberton Hill

Round Barrow(s)

GLADMAN May 1, 2012

Pastscape (Monument No. 201736) has the following to say about this obscure Bronze Age barrow:

‘A bowl barrow on Ibberton Hill, 250 metres south of Baker’s Folly. The barrow has a mound 1 metre high and 17 metres in diameter. It is now slightly elongated due to erosion caused by a track which clips its eastern edge. A small depression in the centre of the mound suggests partial excvation. Surrounding the mound is a quarry ditch which has become infilled over the years and now survives as a buried feature 2 metres wide. Scheduled.‘

Unfortunately the undergrowth contributed to me not being able to positively identify the monument ... to be honest I might well have been looking in the wrong place altogether. Suffice to say I’ll have another go should I again find myself upon this rather fine ridge. It’s worth it, the views to the west pretty wondrous, my friends.
