drolaf visited on 25th Jul 2022 - their rating: Cond: 2 Amb: 3 site is fenced and has mature trees grown on it. these will have destroyed much of the internal structure. Gatcombe is a royal residence with security staff so it is not advisable to go on the land, and there's nout to see anyway.

Having read several tales of people being stopped and questioned by rapidly arriving police, I didn’t spend long here, and just took a photo from the entry to the field. It looks to be the regular shapeless lumpy bumpy mess covered in trees.
