Culver Down II submitted by Paul M : It is one of the barrows on Culver Down on the Isle of Wight at SZ635855, looking north across Bembridge to Portsmouth. (Vote or comment on this photo)
Round barrow in Isle of Wight

This barrow is 95% destroyed. It is located to the rear of the car park at SZ635855 by an old brick building. Hardly worth the trip but the view north across Bembridge to Portsmouth is outstanding.
