Full Description
A barrow in the same field, Back Low Close, as SMR 950. Only one edge remained and Carrington removed this on the 25th May 1851. Previously excavation had revealed a skeleton in a cist, accompanied by a pot. The 1851 excavation recovered burnt bone and charcoal. (1). During a 1966 survey, the barrow was not located. Ballidon is a minor hamlet only but no local person could identify the above named close. (2). Barnatt records this barrow as destroyed or lost. (3).
