Hob Hurst's House


Technically a "round barrow", Hob Hurst's House is a prehistoric burial chamber, unusual in that it is recangular in shape, roughly 8 x 7.5 m and 1 m high. An earthen ditch and bank, also rectangular, surrounds the mound. A ring of 5 stones is in the centre. When the site was first excavated in the 1800s human bones were found in a stone grave.
