We spotted the mound on the horizon from the nearby footpath below the site. The OS map shows a trackway from the Sharpenhoe Road leading directly to the site. This track does lead directly to the mound but I have marked it as requiring a bit more of a walk as on the occasion of our visit the gate to the track was closed and we had to climb over it. I've said a round barrow but it might be better described as a tumulus? It's not very big but stony beneath the grass as revealed by poking with a walking pole.
