Flowerdown Barrows is a Bronze Age Barrow site near Littleton, Winchester, Hampshire, England. It is a scheduled monument looked after by English Heritage.[1]

Key Information

Description of site

[edit]

The site has three Bronze Age burial mounds in a much larger cemetery, two bowl barrows and a well-preserved disc barrow which has been described as "the finest in Hampshire".[2] The disc barrow is 28 metres (92 ft) in diameter and contains two circular mounds of 7 metres (23 ft) and 6 metres (20 ft) diameter respectively. The larger mound is centrally positioned and has a central hollow.[3] The larger of the two bowl barrows is 20 metres (66 ft) in diameter and 1 metre (3.3 ft) high. The other, situated close to the edge of the disc barrow, is 8 metres (26 ft) in diameter and only 0.3 metres (0.98 ft) high.[4]
