Lone barrow on the golf course at Rew Down, near Lowtherville or Upper Ventnor, a few metres to the north of the footpath across the course (see map) on the Isle of Wight.
This feature seems to have mostly disappeared; there is a small mound which may be the remains of the barrow at the designated spot, but there are various lumps and bumps associated with the golf course and wartime explosions - and a local golfer could not shed any light as to its position.
The nearby Week Down cemetery is more worthy of a visit if you're in the locality. As usual with IOW sites, the general ambience and spectacular views are worth the effort in any case.
