If you have a spare £70,000 in your back pocket, then here’s your opportunity to buy a genuine Bronze Age round barrow (or what’s left of it). Swanborough Tump is on the market along with Frith Copse, the 17 acre plot of semi-mature woodland that it stands on.
The agents, Woolley and Wallis, have yet to put anything on their web site about the sale, but further information is available on request. They describe the tump as, “marked by a low mound topped by an information pillar”. So much for Estate Agent spin.
