barrow, but the ground round it has been until recently under culti- 

 vation and there is no trace of the ditches. O.M. 58 NW. ; A.W.

Bratton. 1. In Bratton Camp. Length 230ft. (Thurnam) ; E. and W. 

 Opened by Wm. Cunnington, who found a secondary burial of three 

 skeletons near the top of the larger end, but failed to find the primary 

 one. Thurnam, who re-opened it in 1866, seems to have found the 

 primary burial on the floor of the barrow, consisting of " a heap of 

 imperfectly burnt, or rather charred, human bones, apparently those 

 of one or two adults." ' 

 This barrow is now a rather unshapely heap and much cut about ; the 

 mound is not ploughed but it stands on cultivated ground and all 

 trace of the ditches is obliterated. OM. 45, NW. ; A. W. I. 55 ; Arch. 

 xlii. 180, 192 ; W.A.M. xiii. 341. 



Brixton Deverill. 2. On Cold Kitchen Hill, W. of one ditch and N- 

 of another, and almost due N". of Kingston Deverill Church. Length 

 174ft. ; S.S.E. and N.N.W. There seems to be no record of this bar- 

 row ; probably unopened. A very fine barrow, in excellent condition! 

 with ditches well defined. There are several slight sinkings in the 

 mound, that may mark places of interment or openings. The mound 

 does not quite fill the space between the ditches at the northern end, 

 leaving a slight platform or berm on either side. For similar berms 

 see below. Brixton Deverill 7. O.M. 57 NE. ; A.W. I. Map of 

 Stourton Station. 



Brixton Deverill. 7. S.E. of Brixton Deverill, and E. of Monkton 

 Deverill, on the down to the N.W. of Lower Pertwood Farm. Length 

 278ft. ; nearly E. and W. There seem to be no records of this barrow ; 

 apparently unopened. A very fine barrow, in excellent condition, 

 with unusually well defined deep ditches, standing on unploughed 

 down in a rather remote situation. The ditches are not straight, but 

 curve inwards towards the mound in the middle, and outwards 

 from the mound at both ends. There is also the rather unusual 

 feature of a distinct berm, or level platform, between the fringe of 

 the mound and the inner edges of the ditches. For similar berms 

 see Brixton Deverill 2 and Milston 39. O.M. 57 SE. ; A. W. I. Map 

 of Stourton Station. 

 For Long Barrow in Brixton Deverill parish now destroyed see end of 

 this list. 



Bulford. 1. "Longbarrow Clump," on sloping ground, S. of Bulford 

 village, close to and S. of railway line. Length 133ft. ; E. and W. 

 There seem to be no records of this barrow, and it is not shown 

 by Hoare. It is a high mound planted with trees, otherwise in 

 fairly good condition. The ground on which it stands is now down 

 to grass, but it was formerly ploughed right up to the edge of the 

 mound, and the ditches are obliterated. O.M. 54 SE. 



1 In Gough's Camden I. 146 it is said that "many human bones mixed 

 vith stag's horns, fragments of urns, and pieces of iron weapons, and mill- 

 itones," have been found "under the mound."
