Description: | A BARROW ON BLUESTONE HEATH ROAD, MUCH PLOUGHED DOWN. {1}{2}{3}
THE MONUMENT INCLUDES THE BURIED REMAINS OF A BRONZE AGE BOWL BARROW LOCATED IN ARABLE LAND ABOUT 600 M OF NEW BUILDINGS AND ABOUT 200 M WEST OF BLUESTONE HEATH ROAD, WHICH IS THOUGHT TO HAVE ORIGINATED AS A PREHISTORIC TRACKWAY. IT HAS A DIAMETER OF C.36.5 M AND WHILE THE MOUND IS KNOWN TO HAVE STOOD TO A HEIGHT OF C.1.5 M, THIS HAS BEEN REDUCED IN RECENT YEARS BY PLOUGHING TO A FEW CM. THE BARROW IS THOUGHT TO HAVE BEEN ENCIRCLED BY A DITCH NOW BURIED BENEATH THE BURIED GROUND SURFACE FROM WHICH MATERIAL FOR ITS CONSTRUCTION WOULD HAVE BEEN QUARRIED. THE BURIED FEATURES WILL RETAIN VALUABLE ARCHAEOLOGICAL INFORMATION, INCLUDING ENVIRONMENTAL EVIDENCE. FOR MORE DETAIL SEE SCHEDULING DOCUMENT 27879. {4}
DURING A WATCHING BRIEF ON A PIPELINE A PREHISTORIC DITCH (PRN 43687) WAS IDENTIFIED BISECTING THE GROUND BETWEEN THIS BARROW AND A FURTHER BARROW TO THE EAST (PRN 43686). {5}{6} | Subjects: | General Archaeology | Temporal: | 2200BC - 801BC | Source: | Lincolnshire County Council | Identifier: | http://www.lincstothepast.com/Records/Re... | Go to resource |
