In the heart of the National Memorial Arboretum at Alrewas in Staffordshire, is an area of grass that has not been planted with trees or used for monuments.
Lying beside the River Tame near its confluence with the River Trent this grassy area is the site of a burial mound or barrow dating from 3rd millennium BC.
The 45m diameter mound is very much flattened now but crop marks from aerial photographs in the 1960s and slight earthworks from excavations in the 1990s show it to be three-ring ditch with pits.
Field walking in the area prior to the creation of the arboretum has produced various sherds and flint tools.
A large fragment of a beaker from the mound is now displayed in the exhibition area of the National Memorial Arboretum.
