Barrow Cemetery in Greater London

Barrows at the top of Greenwich Park. Definitely contain Anglo Saxon burials although there is disagreement on whether or not they reused an earlier Bronze Age site. Great views of Canary Wharf and the barrows are fairly well preserved.

Pastscape monument ID 404328.
