Clandon Barrow

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Clandon Barrow is a very large bowl barrow dating from the bronze age, which overlooks the village of Martinstown, near Dorchester in Dorset, and which lies on the same ridge as Maiden Castle. It was excavated by Edward Cunnington in 1882. Gold objects were found including a cup and the Clandon Lozenge. This is believed to provide geometric information about the movement of the stars and seasons for this latitude.
