JohnLindsay visited on 14th Feb 2013 - their rating: Cond: 3 Amb: 4 Access: 4 The 34, 35, bus, four an hour, with a stop at Red Road. This is the beginning of the Brentmoor Nature Reserve, or the Aldershot Military Lands, depending on your preferences. The four barrows are a short walk along the right of way. There is a Surrey Wildlife Trust Board, and a megalith, or sarsen stone, which they seem to have placed there. If there is no evidence of excavation, then how it is known that it is a barrow cemetry is beyond me. There is a reference to Needham and Longley, so that text I'm going to try to track down. I wonder why it couldn't be called a battered long mound?
GrahamTD visited on 15th Oct 2010 - their rating: Cond: 2 Amb: 4 Access: 4 Looking at them from ground level, rather different from satellite image. Overgrown, though there is an information board which helps. Confusing that the Historic Environment Record HER 3228, indicates a different position South-East of what I looked at, perhaps it refers to a different barrow?
