Southside Mount
Barrow stands on a hillside that overlooks much of the Gypsey Race landscape
to the north and west. Although plough damaged like much of this ritual
area, it still survives to a height of nearly 3 metres with a diameter
of around 30 metres. The mound contained an earthen core which was then
covered with a layer of chalk rubble and surrounded by a circular ditch,
with a further square ditch beyond that, similar to the large barrow at
Wold Newton. Both of these ditches are now silted up and not visible on
the ground. |
