The "Drivers' map" of the New Forest from 1814 shows few archaeological features, other than those which were prominent landmarks or boundaries. One exceptional area was Beaulieu Heath, where many of the barrows are marked and some are even named. This barrow, on the heath to the south-east of Two Bridges Bottom is labelled as "Laurences Barrow". The maps are available online from Graham Cooper's New Forest website.
Access The barrow is very prominent on an area of flat (dry) heath to the west of Two Bridges Bottom - it has a large silver birch tree growing alongside it. The two nearby car parks (Crockford Clump and Crockford) are usually closed in the winter/spring to try and reduce disturbance to heathland wildlife.
