Beaulieu Heath (West)
Date Added: 19th Sep 2010
Site Type: Round Barrow(s)
Country: England (Hampshire)
Visited: Yes on 25th Oct 2005
Beaulieu Heath (West) submitted by JimChampion on 25th Oct 2005. The bowl barrow at SU345012, 25m in diameter and about 1m high with no visible ditch. The barrow survived the construction of the Beaulieu airfield on Hatchet Moor in the early 20th century. The airfield buildings have long since been razed, but some of the access roads (concrete/gravel) have been left as off-road cycle routes across the heath; one can be seen in the foreground. Hampshire treasures lists a similar-sized barrow in the same area but I couldn't find it easily.

Setley Plain disc barrows
Date Added: 19th Sep 2010
Site Type: Round Barrow(s)
Country: England (Hampshire)
Visited: Yes on 1st Jan 2006
Setley Plain disc barrows submitted by JimChampion on 1st Jan 2006. View looking north of the lone disc barrow at grid ref SU298998 (diameter roughly 30 metres). The earthworks are noticeable on this open expanse of heathland, but not easy to photograph. Here the low winter sun casts shadows that make the ditch and outer bank visible, and also the mutilated central mound with its covering of burnt gorse bushes.

Castle Piece
Date Added: 19th Sep 2010
Site Type: Hillfort
Country: England (Hampshire)
Visited: Yes on 3rd Apr 2006
Castle Piece submitted by JimChampion on 3rd Apr 2006. View northeast from on top of the rampart at SU19970890 - the point being that there is not much to see of the earthworks here. The rampart is very slight and there are only traces of an external ditch. From this point the rampart curves round to the left. The fallen tree on the left has toppled from the rampart into the enclosed area. Go on... use your imagination!

Its northeast edge (on the left) is being worn away by users of this track across Ibsley Common. The English Heritage scheduling notes say that it is constructed of compacted gravel.

Gorley Hill
Date Added: 19th Sep 2010
Site Type: Hillfort
Country: England (Hampshire)
Visited: Yes on 13th Jun 2006
Gorley Hill submitted by JimChampion on 13th Jun 2006. Panoramic view of the southwest corner of Gorley Common, looking south. The hill fort once occupied this area, but gravel extraction in the 1950s and 1960s removed any evidence of the earthworks. A well-grazed plateau remains, surrounded on some sides by large embankments (the original ground level); the birch trees in the distance are growing on such a bank, and the corner of a bank protrudes from the right.

Cheriton Long Barrow
Date Added: 19th Sep 2010
Site Type: Long Barrow
Country: England (Hampshire)
Visited: Yes on 27th Jun 2006
Cheriton Long Barrow submitted by JimChampion on 27th Jun 2006. Looking north at the side of the long barrow mound, which crosses the photo from left to right beyond the oilseed rape. The footpath across the field is on the other side of the barrow, this view is from the field gate on Lamborough Lane. The barrow is covered with grasses and so stands out in this field. It will probably be much more obvious when the oilseed crop has been harvested.

excavation.
