Bedstone Bowl Barrow, Clun (image)
The bright yellow area within this field at Bedstone in the Clun Valley is a Bowl Barrow dating to between the late Neolithic period and the late Bronze Age, roughly 2400 B.C. - 1500 B.C. Bowl barrows are funerary monuments constructed as earthen or rubble mounds, sometimes ditched, which covered single or multiple burials. This Bowl Barrow is roughly circular in plan with a diameter of around 30 metres. Additional material for the construction of the mound was dug from a nearby quarry ditch that can actually be seen in this aerial photograph as a cropmark to the left of the barrow.
