Abstract The abstract describing the content of the publication or report Abstract:	Archaeological Surveys Ltd was commissioned by the English Heritage Geophysics Team to undertake both magnetometry and resistivity over the following three scheduled barrow sites: a pair of bowl barrows south of Blindwell Wood, Oxfordshire; Asthall Barrow, Oxfordshire and a bowl barrow near Waters Down Farm, Hampshire. The work was requested ahead of badger eviction and meshing. Blindwell Wood Barrows:The results do not indicate the presence of a typical surrounding ditch for either barrow. There is some evidence of former quarrying. An elongated amorphous feature further to the east may relate to a scrape of material, although this could be natural. The northern barrow mound is highly disturbed by badgers and has vegetation which prevented survey over it. The southerly barrow in the pair appears to have been removed by arable cultivation on its western side, although a high resistance zone may represent its remains. Asthall Barrow The geophysics suggests the presence of a surrounding quarry or scrape, rather amorphous in shape, with some separate quarry pits possibly also associated. Other linear ditches and pit-like features were located in the vicinity. Waters Down Barrow: The survey has provided some weak evidence for a surrounding ditch but it appears sub-rounded or somewhat oval in shape. Two or possibly three linear ditches appear to conjoin on the north eastern side of the barrow and may well have caused disturbance to the ditch and possibly cut into the mound. Several other ditches were located to the south and south east of the barrow.
