Barrow Clump
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
51°13′16″N 1°45′50″W / 51.221°N 1.764°W Barrow Clump is an archaeological site in Figheldean parish, Wiltshire, England, about 3+1⁄2 miles (5.6 km) north of the town of Amesbury. The site is a scheduled monument.
Barrow Clump lies on the northwestern slope of rising ground about 700 metres east of the village of Ablington, in Figheldean parish.[1]
The surviving part of the monument is a bowl barrow about 30 metres in diameter. Other barrows in the same group have been lost to ploughing.[2] The barrow was constructed in the early Bronze Age on the site of a Neolithic settlement, and much later, around the 6th century, it was re-used as an Anglo-Saxon cemetery.[3]
The site was designated as a scheduled monument in 1990.[2]
