Notes
HER: One of a row of four barrows on Soussons Down known as 'The Red Barrows'. It is a substantial mound of 21.0 metres diameter by 1.3 metres high and appears to be undamaged. Two edge set stones on the south eastern side of the mound may represent the remains of a kerb which survives elsewhere as a buried featureReferences
