Shrewsbury Tumulus

 
Shrewsbury Tumulus  
Plum Lane, junction Brinklow Crescent,
SE18
In the past six barrows (mounds of earth placed over a burial site) existed on and about Shooters Hill.

These mounds resembled the round barrows characteristic of the Bronze Age (2000 - 500 BC) but all except this one have been destroyed and sadly no proper examination was made of them before they were swept away. This last remaining mound is situated at the junction of what is now Brinklow Crescent and Plum Lane.
