SU 365 081. Bowl barrow of about 4 feet height in recently cleared woods at Fox Hill. There are others marked on the map but with all the stumps and bumps, I couldn’t identify any. This would have had a clear view across the bogs and the river to the top of Yew Tree Heath (now, the road from Applemore to Beaulieu Road Station)
