Turner and Parker write of Broughton in Hampshire "A licence to crenellate his manor-house here was granted in the 7th Henry IV to Thomas Wykeham. There are no remains excepting the mound."

Gatehouse Comments

The licence refers to Broughton in Oxfordshire, which Turner and Parker also describe. Presumably the mound referred to is a bowl barrow of which there are several in the parish. Given map reference is for parish church although the mounds in the parish general lie on the top of Broughton Down to the south and west of the church.
