cliffrich visited on 11th Nov 2018 - their rating: Cond: 3 Amb: 4 Access: 4 A short walk from the lower car park at the end of Culver Down. This barrow is quite noticeable if you look where you wouldn't expect to see it! It was overgrown and hidden away by some trees and brambles when I visited. It is situated adjacent to a concrete wartime gun emplacement. The video include other lumps and bumps and a listed barrow next to the monument.

The remains of this barrow can be found to the rear of the northern gun emplacement on Culver Down. Many lumps and bumps are found in the area but the most convincing has a concrete slab set in to the top.
