ragebe visited on 15th Apr 2018 - their rating: Cond: 2 Amb: 1 Access: 4 I visit this site daily, whilst walking my dogs. It's usually strewn with rubbish, despite being a SSSI.
Tumulus at highest point behind, and overlooking the old quarry at Stephen's Castle ( sadly not named after a castle ).
The tumulus has a path leading to its summit and is perhaps the 'meatiest' of the local tumuli, but nonetheless is considerable degraded by foot-walking traffic as Stephen's Castle is a local nature reserve. Decent veiws from the top however, towards Isle of Purbeck.
Nearby is Stephen's Stone. See local submissions on here for this historic boundary stone.
