Heath Brow cemetery can be
considered as being made of seven separate barrows. Four are
close together, and are to be found parallel to the Beacon Hill
Road, about 45 yds to the East.
These barrows are up to 30ft.
in diameter, the largest being approximately 50ft. round and
almost 4ft. high. The remaining three barrows can be found
110yds further East again, but are spread further apart.
They
are circular mounds, or Bowl Barrows, being up to 55ft. in
diameter and up to 4ft. in height. Again there is evidence of
"flat " burial sites within.
The
mounds are constructed from layers of turf, sand and
flint. There have been some Mesolithic implements found
in the area which include scrapers, saws, long blades
and two axes. |
