Monument record MDO31450 - Bronze Age round barrow, West Hill, Corfe Castle

A mound is visible at NGR SY 95472 82374 on aerial photographs and is considered likely to be the remains of one of three Sceduled Bronze Age round barrows recorded at this location on West Hill (See also MDO7424 and MDO7425). The top of the mound is slightly hollowed which may indicate an unrecorded antiquarian excavation.
