Full Description
Three or four tumuli (burial mounds) close together on the Common, 'across the river that divides the town from the common', a little south of church (NHER 2619) and town (NHER 2634). Also a number of holes 3.6m to 4.6m by 1.8m to 2.7m called Danes Graves, near the river. (S1) and (S2). (S3) states many tumuli about Oxborough.
R. R. Clarke (NCM).
23 January 1976.
No sign of any barrows. Could these be small glacial mounds or drumlins associated with kettle-holes or pingoes on Foulden Common?
A. Lawson (NCM), 5 March 1976.
