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 Ba'l Hill. Both of these ditches are now
silted up and not visible on the ground. |
