The original "archaeological trail" through Micheldever Wood visited this barrow and an uprooted information sign remains there. [source]
The sign explains that the barrow was used on its north side as a quarry for flints or clay. It is also likely that the barrow was used as a "marker" when the local field boundaries were constructed in the 1st millenium BC - many of these earthworks survive nearby in the woods.
Access The barrow is just east of the M3, nearest parking is at the Micheldever Wood car park at SU529362. The barrow is not marked on the usual OS maps but it is identified on the "archaeological trail" signboards at the car park and at other places in the wood.
