| The
Round Barrow cemetery is protected to a degree by it's
being within a large area of land managed by the M.O.D
on the edge of our village.
It is
recorded as being National Monument Number 31177, and
has National Grid References of SU82084937,
SU82164938, & SU82214931.
Round
Barrow cemeteries are dated to the Bronze age, eg.
2000 -700 B.C. and Heath Brow is reasonably well
preserved, despite World War 2 defences having been
constructed 4ft into one of the barrows.
There
are often found to be conventional "flat"
burial sites found within the parameters of the round
burial sites. These cemeteries are created over
hundreds of years, and therefore many generations. |
