Disc barrow and bowl barrow at Seven Barrows Nature Reserve
This part of the wider barrow cemetery consists of ten barrows in two parallel rows. In the foreground is the only example of a disc barrow in the cemetery; they are rare in any case. Disc barrows have a small mound and a wide berm encircled by a ditch and a bank. They might contain more than one burial, and date from the Bronze Age. Behind is a more typically shaped bowl barrow.
