JoAtherton visited on 9th Oct 2022 - their rating: Cond: 3 Amb: 3 Access: 5 The long barrow is on the road out of the village of Pitstone. Ample parking by the side of the road. The barrow is surrounded by houses but be warned - I was challenged by an aggressive woman who thought I was photographing her house. I explained I'd come to visit the barrow but she didn't know what I was talking about.
stevegayton visited on 5th Oct 2019 - their rating: Cond: 4 Amb: 4 Access: 5 Strangely interesting to see this barrow standing at the side of the High street surrounded by housing. Very easy access and although the roads are busy I found it quite peaceful here. The site was well cared for and has a couple of benches and plaque.
