It was excavated again in 1960 and finds included decayed leather, and a burial lying beneath a tapered board and accompanied by a long-necked beaker and various implements. It was interpreted as a possible mortuary house. The surrounding ditch was shown to be a causewayed ring ditch. Fragments of bluestone were found in the ditch silt. The barrow was considered in good condition in 1913 but was severely damaged by ploughing in the mid-20th century. However, following the 1960 excavations, the mound was reconstructed from the spoil to its current 1.5-metre height. 636: 611: 374: 45: 661:) are two barrows located within the western end of the Cursus. Amesbury 56 is a bowl barrow, or possibly a bell barrow, which is around 1.5 metres high and about 25 metres in diameter. It was excavated by Colt Hoare who found burials and grave goods, including a bronze dagger. Winterbourne Stoke 30 has been completely flattened and is no longer visible. It was excavated by Colt Hoare, who found a possible cremation. Winterbourne Stoke 30 was excavated again in 1958 demonstrating that it was a bell barrow with a central cremation pit. Burials of two children were found in the ditch of the barrow. 418:) are a pair of bell barrows with overall diameters of 38 metres and 36 metres. The central mounds are each 20 metres in diameter and just under 2 metres high. The barrows are on an east–west alignment, and the ring ditches of the two mounds join with each other. Amesbury 46 was excavated by Colt Hoare who recovered burned bones with a small spear head. His excavations of Amesbury 47 revealed a simple burial of burned bones. 507:). There was also evidence for a ring of 24 one-metre wide pits around the inside edge of the ditch which may have supported a freestanding wooden structure. The two opposing entrances across the ditch, in the south-west and north-east, suggest a similar alignment as Stonehenge. The central burial mound, in this interpretation, may have been built at a later date. These discoveries were reported by the 29: 491:). The barrow comprises a central oval mound flanked by two asymmetric side ditches which have opposing entrances to the south-west and north-east. The barrow mound stands around 0.5-metre high and measures around 20 metres in diameter. It was excavated by Colt Hoare without result. The barrow was considered in good condition in 1913 but was damaged by ploughing in the mid-20th-century. 357:) comprises two barrow mounds which are completely surrounded by a single ring ditch. The eastern mound is 1.6 metres high with a diameter of 15 metres, and the western mound is 2.3 metres high with a diameter of 17 metres. The outer ditch is 5 metres wide and 1 metre deep. Both mounds were dug into by Stukeley in 1723, and the western mound was re-excavated by 602:). It consists of an irregular hollow with a diameter of about 8.5 metres. Excavations in 1938 revealed a small oval ditch with an external bank broken by causeways on the north and south. At the centre of the site was a grave containing a skeleton with a beaker, food vessel, and two cremations. Another cremation was found close to the inner edge of the ditch. 68: 98: 82: 52: 395:) is a large ditched bell barrow which still stands 3.5 metres high. The monument has an overall diameter of around 56 metres with a central mound which has a diameter of 26 metres. The mound was excavated by Colt Hoare in the early 19th century, who found a cremation close to a cist of black ashes with a few pieces of burnt bone. 465:). It has a diameter of around 26 metres. It was excavated by Colt Hoare in the early 19th century without result. The barrow was considered in good condition in 1913 but was severely damaged by ploughing in the mid-20th century.
