Best Hikes to Priddy Nine Barrows

Tips

  • Priddy Nine Barrows is a site of archaeological importance and a protected Scheduled Monument. They are a group of nine Bronze Age round barrows, seven occurring in a broadly linear arrangement, with two further mounds some 150 yards to the north. Round barrow cemeteries date to the Bronze Age (c.2000-700 BC).

    They comprise closely-spaced groups of up to 30 round barrows - rubble or earthen mounds covering single or multiple burials. Most cemeteries developed over a considerable period of time, often many centuries, and in some cases acted as a focus for burials as late as the early medieval period - See Historic England website for more information historicengland.org.uk/listing/the-list/list-entry/1010506

  • Prehistoric burial mounds that are easy to access and without any touristy stuff around them.

  • This hill is a wonderful elevation and was certainly carefully chosen as a final resting place.
