Two Bronze Age round barrows, located some 44m above sea level between two tributaries of the Great Eau, and close to the south-eastern boundary of Burwell Wood. Although the mounds are now somewhat obscured by beech trees, they would formerly have appeared as prominent landscape features when approached from the east and west. The southern mound is some 20m in diameter and c.2m high with gently sloping sides and a slightly flattened summit. The northern mound, which lies some 15m to the north-west, is of a similar diameter, standing to a maximum of 1m. Its summit is uneven, an effect thought to be caused by the uprooting of trees. The encircling ditches from which material for the mounds would have been quarried are not visible but are thought to survive buried beneath the present ground surface. For the full description and the legal address of this scheduled monument please refer to the appropriate entry in the National Heritage List for England. {1}{2}{3}{4}{5} The barrows were noted as still extant during a site visit conducted in December 2025, where they could be clearly seen as rounded earthwork mounds. Although the barrows cannot be easily seen on aerial photographs taken of this area, their exact positions can also be clearly discerned on recent lidar data. {6}
