Bickney Beacon Round Barrow(s) View all content for Bickney Beacon

Directions: A short distance east of the Llanrhian standing stone, along a minor road Not much to see here, just an overgrown mound right next to the hedge/road. The road is very narrow although you can stop at the open field entrance. The field was in crop but in the middle of the field I could see a large stone/boulder. Don’t know if this is relevant to anything? COFLEIN state: A ploughed down mound crossed by a hedge bank, 24m in diameter and 0.5m high. When opened by Fenton (19th C) revealed a large cist sealed by a capstone 2.6m long, containing a holed ‘axe-hammer’ and traces of a possible inhumation.
