SNN110780 - Sulgrave Barrow Geophysical Survey, August 2017

Magnetometry and earth resistance surveys failed to find a curved ditch around this Scheduled Ancient Monument. Whilst not all bowl barrows have ditches the lack of one may increase the possibility of it being something else such as a moot mound or tump. There is the possibility of it having been partially surrounded by rectininear ditches. Excavation may be needed to clarify this. The work is funded by Natural England and is part of a project to exclude badgers from the barrow. Their setts represent a severe threat to the preservation of the site.
