TipsyTwitcher visited on 26th Sep 2025 - their rating: Cond: 3 Amb: 4 Access: 3 I visited today and found the barrows are still in good condition. Access is a bit tricky, the three barrows south of Crow Lane are overgrown, but still definable. The third barrow is the other side of a track and has tree cover. The fourth is north of Crow Lane, to the right of a track that goes along the edge of Fingers Post Plantation, and is the best defined of the four.
