Tumuli, Shipley Bottom
Two Bronze Age tumuli (near distance, centre), seen from the byway running through Shipley Bottom, both damaged by ploughing. The western one (left) Link
(Archive Link ) now seems almost indistinguishable from the eastern one (right). Link (Archive Link ) The latter was excavated by A.D. Passmore, who found a primary cremation and part of an incense cup. Both are now only 0.5 metres high, but were surrounded by quarry ditches about 2 metres wide from which material was taken for construction of the monuments.
In the distance is Liddington Warren Farm.
