Barrow in Droughtville

No surface remains of mound situated on flat pastureland at the base of an esker ridge which has been partially quarried away in recent times. Depicted as a small enclosure on first two editions of the OS 6-inch maps. This feature is depicted as a landscaped feature rather than as an antiquity on the 1838 ed. OS 6-inch map On the 1838 ed. OS 6-inch map this monument is depicted as a small enclosure 20m to the N of a family vault located in a demesne woodland associated with nearby Droughtville House. The monument is depicted differently on the revised 1908 ed. OS 25-inch map. On this map the monument is shown as a small mound standing on a wide berm with a similar plan to a stepped-barrow. A second enclosure or small mound (OF036-024----) is depicted 71m to the SE. It is possible that the monument was re-used when it was landscaped in the 18th/19th century. This possible monument is located on the demesne woodland associated with Droughtville House located 730m to the SW. Alternatively this feature may have been built as a landscape feature in the 18th/19th century by the occupants of Droughtville House.
