Topic: Bowl barrow


  
  Astronomical Alignments at a Bronze Age Round Barrow in Crick, Monmouthshire, South Wales
The barrow's true nature was however revealed during excavation in 1940 by the late Dr. Hubert N. Savory, who was then working as an assistant in the Department of Archaeology at the National Museum of Wales.
The barrow mound was typically circular, averaging 31.7m in diameter.
The barrow would therefore be roughly contemporary with the later phases of construction at Stonehenge in Wiltshire, which lies at the heart of Wessex.

 Bowl Barrows - 6 Survival and potential.

Many of the ring-ditches that are thought to have been barrows but which upon excavation appear to be "empty" undoubtedly represent the last vestiges of types of bowl barrow in which the only rock-cut component is the quarry ditch.
The mounds of most bowl barrows preserve abundant evidence about the construction and phasing of the site; in many cases whole episodes or phases of use are represented only by components in the upper layers of the mound.
