Sleep Valley Barrow
Sleep Valley Barrow submitted by Gedv1 : Discovered only by its 'M' monument posts, it is not shown on O/S Tracklogs (Vote or comment on this photo)
Round Barrow(s) in Hampshire

A low lying barrow on level ground. Not shown on O/S maps but see PastScape Monument no. 1202112 @ SU113106

Hard to notice its very shallow hump from the passing gravel road, it is delineated in each corner by 'M' monument posts. Much scarred by forestry planting. There is another barrow local to this at SU107104 while you are in the area.
